World CNG, a Kent, WA company that specializes in alternative fuel packaging and applications, was named a finalist for the first annual King County Executive’s Green/Sustainable Small Business of the Year Award. Nominations for the award were submitted in seven different categories. The award is meant to celebrate the importance and accomplishments of small businesses throughout King County, with the awards ceremony on October 12, 2011 to be hosted by King County Executive Dow Constantine.
“It’s always wonderful to be recognized and acknowledged for our hard work,” said Armin H. Ausejo, Marketing Director of World CNG. “We’re happy to support the community with our efforts and plan on doing so for years to come.”
In the past year, World CNG has helped lead the growth of the alternative fuels market by putting around 200 compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles on the road around the Puget Sound region and in several cities across the country including Chicago, Dallas, and Denver. World CNG also expanded its office and shop space, growing from 10,000 square feet to 16,000 square feet, along with doubling the number of its employees.
Aggressively motivated to clean the environment and reduce American dependence on foreign oil, WorldCNG produces and installs quality natural gas fueling systems for automotive use. All WorldCNG conversions are certified by the Environmental Protection Agency and installed by certified automotive technicians. Tax breaks for businesses, rising fuel costs, and government mandates are giving individuals and businesses incentives to go green. WorldCNG supports this transition with superior product design, unparalleled service and a thirst for change.
CNG offers to the transportation market a safe and less costly fuel that is readily available, plentiful, and easy to use. Especially in urban areas, CNG is seen as the best alternative to polluting oil-based fuels, burning 70-90% cleaner than gasoline or diesel.
