Turbines are also appealing because of their few moving parts, low maintenance requirements and lighter weight. In each truck, there are 7 lithium polymer battery modules (96V) to provide 650 VDC for a total of 45.5 The micro-turbine is fuel neutral and produces very low emissions without the need for aftertreatment.

The operating and maintenance cost of in-service compressors is exacerbated by the on/off cycling of the compressors resulting from a lack of station demand. Composite carbon fiber and steel vessels are a potential alternative. The capital cost of the commercial hardware remains high due to low production volumes.
