Clean Energy to build new CNG stations in several locations

Clean Energy Fuels Corp., Newport Beach, California, today announced that it will construct new compressed natural gas (CNG) stations for Arlington Transit (ART) in Arlington County, Virginia; Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE) in Long Island, New York; and North Kansas City (Missouri) School District, which is set to become the largest school district in the U.S. to transition its school bus fleet to CNG.

“Despite lower oil prices, Clean Energy continues to add fueling partnerships across all our transportation markets,” says Andrew J. Littlefair, president and CEO of Clean Energy. “No matter if they are with a school district, municipality or trucking company, managers of large fleets are looking for a cleaner fuel that reliably costs less and does not have volatile price swings. Natural gas continues to meet their needs.”

Additional agreements across transportation market segments of transit, refuse, trucking and the bulk fuel market were also announced, including the following refuse market agreements.

·         Republic Services continues to expand its already significant partnership with Clean Energy with a recent operations and maintenance agreement for a station that fuels 75 refuse trucks in Huntington Beach, California, which are expected to consume 600,000 diesel gallon equivalents (DGEs) of CNG a year.

·         Garden City Sanitation in Santa Clara, California, signed an operations and maintenance agreement that will serve 45 refuse trucks that consume 350,000 DGEs a year.

·         The city of Spokane, Washington, will begin fueling 20 solid waste trucks at a recently opened CNG station that was designed and equipped by Clean Energy. The city plans to add approximately 10 trucks per year with as many as 100 eventually being fueled at the station. Each truck is expected to consume 11,500 DGEs annually.
