CORE

What CORE does

CORE (legal entity: Permian Global Inc.) is a Midland, Texas-based provider of mobile natural gas and fuel automation solutions for energy and industrial customers. The company operates a CNG/RNG virtual pipeline that compresses, transports, and delivers fuel to remote and off-grid sites without pipeline access, supported by a fleet of mobile CNG trailers, pressure reduction systems, and bulk storage exceeding 21,000 gallons. CORE bundles this fuel delivery with patented Fuel Automation hardware (motorized hose reels with 450+ feet of capacity, 1,500-gallon clear fuel cells, proprietary valves) and an AI/ML-driven software platform that provides real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and remote operations management.

The company generates revenue across five streams: usage-based CNG/RNG virtual pipeline services, hardware sales of fuel automation systems, subscription software and analytics, managed Power Delivery Agreements for data centers (5-100 MW), and professional services for RNG project development. Pricing is quote-based and consultative, with sales led through direct enterprise engagement targeting oil and gas, fleet fueling, data centers, mining, asphalt, pipeline and utilities, and renewable natural gas producers primarily across Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. A strategic fuel supply partnership with Manticore Fuels supports reliable upstream sourcing.

CORE holds three registered patents covering fuel automation technology, AI/ML software, and bulk storage piping design. The company was founded in 2018, remains privately held with 11-50 employees, and has pursued multi-vertical expansion including a December 2025 launch of a Peterbilt fleet equipped with Cummins X15N natural gas engines as part of its sustainability roadmap.

Core offering

CORE provides mobile CNG and RNG virtual pipeline delivery to remote and underserved industrial sites, replacing diesel and propane with natural gas through patented fuel automation hardware and an AI-driven software analytics platform. The company bundles compression, transportation, on-site storage, automated fueling equipment, and real-time monitoring into turnkey energy solutions for oil & gas, mining, data centers, fleet operators, asphalt producers, utilities, and RNG producers. Offerings range from on-demand fuel delivery to behind-the-meter power generation (5–100 MW) under Power Delivery Agreements.

Product overview

CORE is a modular energy solutions platform centered on its CNG Virtual Pipeline technology, which delivers compressed and renewable natural gas to locations without pipeline infrastructure. The platform integrates three core components: the CNG Virtual Pipeline (mobile energy delivery system), Fuel Automation (patented automated fueling technology with 450+ ft hose reels, 1,500-gallon fuel cells, and 21,000+ gallon bulk storage), and Software & Data Analytics (AI/ML-powered monitoring platform with predictive analytics and remote operations). Industry-specific solutions including Oil & Gas, Mining, Asphalt, Fleet Fueling, Data Centers, Pipeline & Utilities, and RNG build upon this core platform to serve diverse high-demand commercial and industrial applications.

Broad incumbents

• Bloom Energy: Bloom Energy provides solid-oxide fuel cell power platforms increasingly deployed at data centers (including with hyperscalers like AEP and Equinix). It represents an alternative decarbonization pathway competing with CORE's natural gas microgrid approach for behind-the-meter data center power.
• Capstone Green Energy: Capstone Green Energy manufactures and services microturbine-based power generation systems used in oil & gas, remote industrial, and distributed generation applications. Its product line competes with the mobile power component of CORE's data center offering, though Capstone is not vertically integrated into fuel supply.

Direct peers

• Enchanted Rock: Enchanted Rock delivers behind-the-meter natural gas microgrid solutions for commercial, industrial, and data center customers with a focus on resilience and demand charge management. It is the most direct head-to-head competitor for CORE's 5-100 MW data center power generation offering.
• Clean Energy Fuels: Clean Energy Fuels is the largest U.S. provider of CNG and RNG fuel for transportation and has expanded into virtual pipeline operations through its acquisition of NG Advantage. It directly competes with CORE in CNG distribution, RNG sourcing, and increasingly in behind-the-meter natural gas power for data centers.
• Flogistix: Flogistix provides vapor recovery, flaring reduction, and mobile CNG solutions to upstream oil and gas operators across major U.S. shale plays. It is a direct competitor in capturing flare gas and converting it into usable CNG, an adjacent capability to CORE's virtual pipeline services.
• American Natural Gas: American Natural Gas (ANG) builds, owns, and operates CNG and RNG fueling stations primarily for commercial fleets, with expertise in private station buildouts. It competes with CORE on fleet fueling deployments and turnkey CNG infrastructure across multiple U.S. regions.
• NG Advantage: NG Advantage operates a virtual natural gas pipeline using compressed CNG trailers to deliver fuel to industrial and commercial customers without pipeline access. It overlaps almost identically with CORE's CNG Virtual Pipeline offering and now operates as a Clean Energy Fuels subsidiary.

Emerging players

• Montauk Renewables: Montauk Renewables produces renewable natural gas (RNG) from landfill and livestock methane sources for use as transportation fuel and pipeline injection. It operates on the upstream supply side of CORE's RNG distribution and monetization offering.
• Archaea Energy: Archaea Energy (acquired by BP in late 2022) is one of the largest U.S. RNG producers, capturing and processing landfill and agricultural methane. It represents a potential both upstream partner and competitor as RNG markets scale and integrated producers develop their own distribution networks.

Others

• Chart Industries: Chart Industries supplies cryogenic equipment, including CNG and LNG compression and storage infrastructure used across the natural gas value chain. It is an enabling supplier adjacent to CORE's compression, transport, and bulk storage footprint rather than a direct competitor.
