Pewaukee CNG station opens as Kwik Trip bets on natural gas
La Crosse-based Kwik Trip, Inc. has opened a compressed natural gas filling station in Pewaukee, the eighth station in the Upper Midwest that it's launched this year.
Kwik Trip said Tuesday it's looking to create both a CNG and LNG (liquefied natural gas) infrastructure corridor along the interstate highways linking the Twin Cities with Chicago. Its other metro Milwaukee store is located in Sturtevant.
The ninth store -- including seven in Wisconsin and two in Minnesota -- is slated to open next week in Sheboygan, with at least 10 more planned for next spring, Kwik Trip said.
The Pewaukee store is located off Interstate 94 at exit 295 on Redford Boulevard.

EnSync, Chinese partner team up on utility-scale energy storage
EnSync Energy Systems has shipped a utility-scale energy storage system to South Korea, the Menomonee Falls company said.
The 500-kilowatt-hour system incorporates enough battery power for four or more hours of discharge, using EnSync’s zinc bromide flow batteries as well as power electronics and converters.
Formerly known as ZBB Energy, EnSync is focused on smaller energy storage systems for commercial buildings such as projects it's built in Hawaii in recent years. But it's also been working on larger energy storage systems.
