CNG/LNG systems for our diesels?
Is there an affordable solution to add CNG or LNG to our diesels?

I don't think so.
From what I can tell, quite a few engine mods are needed to run CNG in (especially turbocharged) diesel engines, including lowering compression ratios and electronic fuel injection. Its much easier on a gasoline powered car. But it still isn't an easy mod. Theres a lot more safety concerns with this fuel choice than say WVO/SVO. Honda sells a CNG Civic in the USA, and you can get a home fueling station to compress NG from your utility company. However, the energy density is less and the vehicle only has about a 200 mile range. CNG isn't too easily to come by on the roads. I only know of two stations to fill at in all of metro boston.
