Prometheus Energy Begins Construction on Utah LNG Plant
January 14 2008 - 2:08PM
Business Wire
Prometheus Energy Company (Prometheus), an alternative and
renewable energy company, announced it has begun construction on
its liquid natural gas (LNG) production plant in Lisbon, Utah.
Commercial production of 12,000 gallons of LNG per day is expected
to begin in the second quarter of 2008. The project�s second phase
will commence later this year and will increase plant output to
22,000 gallons per day. The Lisbon site is in addition to
Prometheus� projects in California, including at the Bowerman
Landfill and a site in Fresno County providing Prometheus access to
gas resources capable of producing around 37,000 gallons of LNG per
day by year end. Prometheus also has obtained its building permit
for the 10,000 gallon per day facility at the Krupinski Coal Mine
in Poland and expects to break ground on that project by the end of
March or earlier as weather permits. �Beginning construction on the
Lisbon plant is another major milestone for Prometheus as we
continue to develop diverse supply sources for the natural gas
vehicle market. Approximately 200,000 gallons of LNG is consumed in
the US every day and the market continues to grow steadily,� said
Prometheus CEO, Kirt W. Montague. Prometheus signed a contract with
North American-based natural gas producer, EnCana Oil & Gas
(USA), Inc. in the fall of 2007 to acquire residue (methane) gas
from its cryogenic natural gas processing facility in San Juan
County, Utah. LNG produced at the Lisbon plant will be transported
via tanker to vehicle fleet customers in the Western US, displacing
nearly 3.5 million gallons of diesel fuel annually. This press

alternative and renewable fuel company focused on the idea of
Enlightened Energy�, where sustainable and cleaner fuel in the form
of liquid natural gas (LNG) is made from waste sources of methane
produced close to where it will be used. The Company is an emerging
leader in integrating small-scale purification and liquefaction
systems to produce LNG from sources including landfill gas,
stranded gas wells and coalbed/coalmine methane. For more
