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.
