Clean Energy Announces Deals to Boost Natural Gas Use

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. announced Tuesday it has updated its “road to natural gas” report with several recent deals aimed at boosting the use of natural gas as a trucking fuel.

It signed a fueling agreement with Fox Transportation, which plans deployment of more than 100 compressed natural gas medium-duty trucks in the next few months that will fuel at Clean Energy stations throughout Southern California.

“The perceived barriers and limitations of natural gas continue to be eliminated as new users are seeing both the economic and environmental advantage of transitioning to natural gas,” Clean Energy CEO Andrew Littlefair said in a statement.

Clean Energy also said it has signed a fuel deal with NG Advantage to bring natural gas to “manufacturing and other energy-intensive users beyond the pipeline.”



Clean Energy, which is scheduled to report its second-quarter earnings Thursday, is developing what it calls “America’s Natural Gas Highway,” a series of liquefied natural gas fueling stations for heavy-duty longhaul trucks.

The company said the Los Angeles Metro Board has approved a 10-year CNG station operation and maintenance contract with Clean Energy for four bus-fueling stations.
