据原油新闻10月29日消息称，总部位于德克萨斯州的一家公司宣布，计划在宾夕法尼亚州东北部一座前煤矿所在地建造一座价值数十亿美元的工厂，以开发天然气燃料。官员们说，这将为该地区带来数千个就业机会。
官员们在周五的在线新闻发布会上宣布，总部位于休斯敦的 Nacero公司计划在纽波特镇的工厂投资60亿美元，该工厂将使用马塞勒斯页岩储层的天然气，该储层的天然气产量超过美国任何其他储层。
董事会主席Thomas Tureen说：“我们将从天然气和可再生天然气中生产汽油，这是我们最大的消费品。”
Nacero成立于2015年，计划在美国建立9家工厂，利用天然气生产可用于现有车辆的汽油。这些项目将创造数千个建筑和其他工作岗位，每个工厂最终将雇佣约450人，Tureen说。
他说：“明年年初，我们将在德克萨斯州破土动工。所以，这不是一个白日梦，它离我们不远了。我们已经准备好了。”

$6 Billion Natural Gas to Fuel Plant Planned in Pennsylvania
A Texas-based company has announced plans to build a multibillion-dollar plant align="justify"> Officials announced at an align="justify"> “We are going to be making gasoline, which is our largest commodity consumer product, from natural gas and renewable natural gas,” said Thomas Tureen, chairman of the board.
Formed in 2015, Nacero plans nine U.S. plants using natural gas to produce gasoline that can be used in existing vehicles. The projects will create thousands of construction and other jobs, and each of the plants will eventually employ about 450 people, Tureen said.
“We will be breaking ground for our first facility in Texas early next year. So, this is not a pipe dream, it’s not far off in the distance. We’re shovel-ready down there,” he said.
Pennsylvania is second only to Texas in the production of natural gas.
