Eaton Corp. and General Electric Co. are working on competing projects to develop a $500 home natural-gas fueling station, enticing car owners to switch to a fuel that has become cheap because of shale drilling.
Their efforts are part of a U.S. Energy Department push to reduce the cost of such stations, which can sell for more than $5,000, and the time it takes to refuel as a way to attract more people to drive natural-gas-powered vehicles.
