Even in the world of commodities, brand can mean a lot. Since oil is part of our everyday lives, companies like ExxonMobil (XOM -0.45%) and Chevron (CVX -0.11%) have become two of the most recognized brands around the world. With natural gas looking to have its day in the sun, perhaps there are a few companies that could become household names as well.
Exporting liquefied natural gas, or LNG, certainly has become one of the most talked about topics in the United States. One company that is leading the LNG export charge is Cheniere Energy (LNG -1.61%). As the first mover in this space for the U.S., it has the best chance of any other company to make a big splash in this market.
If you are looking for brand recognition, though, then look no further than Exxon's and Chevron's gas stations to see why everyone knows their name. For this reason, perhaps Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE -3.46%) has a shot at being a company we recognize from seeing its stations all over the place. Tune in to the video below where Fool.com contributor Tyler Crowe takes a look at a couple other natural gas companies that could become part of the everyday energy conversation.
