Below are brief descriptions of the gaseous fuel infrastructure work being performed as part of the Natural Gas Vehicle Technology Forum (NGVTF). For more documents related to these activities, visit the NGVTF meetings and publications pages.

LNG Production Research
The Natural Gas Vehicle Technology Forum is supporting research into innovative and cost-effective ways to produce liquefied natural gas (LNG). One way is through small-scale liquefaction of pipeline gas, a project being led by the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). For information on this project, see the presentation Natural Gas Liquefaction (April 2004) (PDF 381 KB) or contact INEEL's Bruce Wilding.
Another project, led by Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), involves purifying and liquefying landfill gas. For information on this project, visit BNL's Natural Gas Vehicle Systems page or contact James Wegrzyn.
Infrastructure Field Deployment and Evaluation
Home refueling appliances for natural gas vehicles—and perhaps, in the future, hydrogen vehicles—could help lower the infrastructure barrier and encourage widespread gaseous fuel vehicle use. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) led a safety evaluation of the FuelMaker home refueling appliance (Phill). For information, see Safety Evaluation of the FuelMaker Home Refueling Concept: Final Report (February 2005) (PDF 2.8 MB).
