Clean Energy Opens First LNG Station in Florida, Expands in Texas

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE) has announced the opening of the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling station in Florida, as well as the opening of the company’s America’s Natural Gas Highway stations in Pontoon Beach, Ill., and Fontana, Calif., to fuel heavy-duty natural gas trucks.

The company also announced select deals in the transit and refuse sectors building on its portfolio of natural gas fuel customers across the country.

Trucking details as follows:

• Clean Energy opens its public-access Jacksonville LNG fueling station, the first in the state, making Jacksonville a key stop in America’s Natural Gas Highway and the LNG gateway to Southern Florida.
• Representatives from United Parcel Service (UPS) and Raven Transport, which will be fueling at the Jacksonville station, participated in a grand opening ceremony.

Transit news:

• Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) plans to convert and entire bus fleet to CNG and signed a multi-year agreement with Clean Energy to maintain DART’s four CNG fueling stations.
• DART plans to deploy 580 compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles to support its transportation service for the greater-Dallas-area. Once fully deployed, these vehicles are forecasted to use approximately seven million gasoline-gallon-equivalents (GGEs) per year.
• Clean Energy designed and built the four CNG fueling stations for the DART network in 2012.

Refuse:

• In 2006, Smithtown became the first community on the East Coast to require all residential refuse and recycling contractors to use natural gas powered trucks. As a result, four private collection contractors operating on behalf of Smithtown and the Town’s own municipal vehicle fleet began fueling with Clean Energy.
• The 25 compressed natural gas vehicles serving Smithtown are expected to consume approximately 250,000 GGEs of CNG per year.
