New Disneyland fuel station cuts gas emissions

Disneyland Resort already takes advantage of alternative fuels, using compressed natural gas for trams and powering its train with used cooking oil.

Now, the resort has the ability to use even more compressed natural gas (CNG) with a new fueling station that opened earlier this month.

The new station increases the resort’s storage by more than 50 percent, increasing the capacity for future uses.

The station was built to accommodate the 16 guest parking trams that were converted to CNG in December. With the conversion, the resort annually cuts out the need for 56,000 gallons of diesel, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The trams had diesel-hybrid engines for the previous 10 years.

“The program really is in evolution right now. It’s a very clean fuel and provides us with other opportunities that wouldn’t have otherwise been available to us,” said Frank Dela Vara, director of environmental affairs and conservation at the Disneyland Resort.
