Trillium: Energy Solutions for a Sustainable Future

Alternative fuel grants and incentives are increasing demand for greener technology, which in turn, is driving corporate sustainability initiatives. Trillium, a leading provider of alternative fueling system design, installation, operations and maintenance, offers a variety of options for customers developing sustainability initiatives including electric vehicle charging, compressed natural gas, renewable natural gas, solar, on-site power generators and hydrogen.

Marc Rowe, senior manager at Trillium, expressed his excitement about the shift in momentum toward alternative fuels, believing we will “continue to see successful deployments of alternative fuel trucks powered by renewable natural gas (RNG), hydrogen and electricity.” Trillium has seen a steady interest in alternative fuels in the U.S with heightened demand in some states, like California, where there are high incentives for alternative fuel vehicles. Trillium frequently engages with customers about alternative fuel vehicle deployments, often leading to the creation of the accompanying alternative fuel strategy plan for the customer’s fleet. Recently, Trillium partnered on a project that added 150 miles of EV-supported highway in California.

Trillium works with multiple Indiana-based fleets at various stages of compressed natural gas (CNG) station development and anticipates continuing its history of designing and constructing high-quality CNG stations in Indiana as they have on several stations in the past. CNG is a stable, low-cost, domestically produced alternative fuel. It is proven, reliable and commercially available today with a mature market of suppliers and vendors. As a result, the transition from conventional fuels to CNG is quick and reliable.

Because the maintenance market for CNG vehicles is not as robust as diesel, it is paramount that fleets find trusted partners for truck procurement along with comprehensive plans for maintenance and fuel security. With more than 20 years of CNG experience and a large portfolio of diversified clients, Trillium has a track record of being an industry-leading compressed natural gas supplier. For fleets interested in additional retail CNG stations, Trillium has the ability to add CNG infrastructure to any location of its parent company, Love’s Travel Stops. Because of the investment in a CNG station, Trillium’s approach has always been to locate CNG stations where there is fleet demand for CNG fuel.

Compressed natural gas use in transportation will continue to grow and be a steadfast fuel with proven technology for decades to come. Trillium looks for innovative ways to make a positive impact in Indiana and across the nation by providing renewable fuel and energy sources to its customers.

Trillium has been a long-standing Leader Member of Greater Indiana Clean Cities and supports our efforts and mission to advance alternative, domestic fueled transportation including energy efficient technologies across all sectors in Indiana.
