WV Airport Explores Deal to Power Facility with Homegrown NatGas

North Central West Virginia Airport
Pittsburgh International Airport is inspiring other airports in the Marcellus/Utica region to consider doing what it is doing--extracting natural gas from beneath airport property and burning it to power electric-generating turbines. The North Central West Virginia Airport, located in Bridgeport, WV, is considering a proposal from Hope Gas Inc. to drill under airport property, extract natural gas, and then use the gas to power a microgrid that provides electricity for the airport and surrounding aerospace businesses. Cool!
