1. A fuel gas distribution system for distributing fuel to one or more fuel consuming assets, comprising:
a vaporizer and compression system (VCS), comprising:
a vaporizer, comprising:
a fuel gas inlet configured to provide liquid fuel gas (LFG) to the vaporizer from a LFG source; and
a fuel gas outlet;
a compressor configured to produce compressed fuel gas (CFG) from LFG, comprising:
a distribution outlet;
an exhaust; and
a fan, wherein the fan is configured to flow one or more of gas and thermal energy emitted from the compressor toward the vaporizer; and
a mounting base, wherein the vaporizer and the compressor are disposed on the mounting base.
