The total number of natural gas refueling stations globally will reach almost 39,300 locations by 2026, according to a new report from Navigant Research. Since late 2014, the production of crude oil has outpaced demand, triggering a sustained collapse in world oil prices, which have remained mostly below $50 per barrel.
