December 06 2016 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
Clean Energy Fuels Corp., (NASDAQ: CLNE) announced that it has
been awarded two new fueling station construction projects, and
that its Facility Modification Services (FMS) division continues to
grow with multiple projects underway, including three for Cummins
Inc.’s Sales and Service business.
Burrtec Waste Industries, one of the largest private solid-waste
companies in California, has contracted with Clean Energy to build
a compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station in Coachella,
California. The station is expected to fuel 50 CNG refuse trucks
and dispense approximately 520,000 gasoline gallon equivalents
(GGEs) per year. Burrtec also awarded Clean Energy a 10-year
operations and maintenance contract for the station.
South Jersey Gas and Riggins Inc. have also contracted with
Clean Energy to build a public CNG station in Franklin Township,
New Jersey utilizing the company’s CleanCNG™ compressors. This will
mark the 100th CleanCNG™ non-lubricated compressor with ultra-low
vibration and noise-engineering to be delivered since announcing
the start of production in June of last year. Clean Energy also
signed a 10-year operations and maintenance agreement for the
station, which will be the third South Jersey Gas station that
Clean Energy has constructed and been engaged to provide the
operations and maintenance services for.
“While we continue to add transit, trucking and refuse fleets to
our list of customers fueling at our network of stations all across
North America, we also continue to build complete stations for our
customers, and we expect to complete 62 of these types of projects
this year,” said Andrew J. Littlefair, president and CEO of Clean
Energy.
In addition to facilities modifications work for Cummins at
their locations in Hodgkins, Illinois; Bristol, Pennsylvania; and
Bronx, New York; Clean Energy has been awarded a contract with the
City of San Fernando to upgrade its public CNG station. The $1.3
million project is needed due to the increased traffic at the
station, as well as to incorporate newer technologies in
compression equipment.
“We are happy that more and more companies are turning to
natural gas,” said Robert C. Gonzales, Mayor of San Fernando. “In
addition to fleets such as Caltrans and Republic who use our
station daily, we’ve noticed an increase in other fleets using
natural gas as well. It’s a win-win; they get cheaper, cleaner
fuel, and we get cleaner air for our city.”
Clean Energy also announced the following agreements in the
Trucking, Transit and Refuse sectors:
Trucking
- Bimbo Bakeries USA, the largest baker
in the United States, has signed a fueling agreement with Clean
Energy for an additional 19 CNG trucks based out of their
Montebello, California location. The vehicles will fuel at Clean
Energy’s public fueling stations located in both Commerce and
Whittier California.
- Clean Energy has added Frank C. Alegre
Trucking to its list of fueling customers by signing a multi-year
fueling agreement. Frank C. Alegre Trucking purchased five
liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucks for their bulk food hauling
operations throughout Southern California and will fuel at Clean
Energy stations. These trucks are Alegre’s first natural gas
vehicles in their fleet.
- Texas Gas Transport, a LNG hauler based
out of Dallas/Fort Worth, has signed a fueling agreement for Clean
Energy for six of its LNG trucks delivering fuel to El Paso, Texas.
Texas Gas Transport specializes in providing fueling solutions to
locations where the pipeline does not provide gas service,
including to the shipping, drilling and power generation
industries.
Transit
- Orange County Transportation Authority
has signed a fueling contract with Clean Energy for 1.5 million
GGEs of LNG for its fleet of 73 buses. The company will use Clean
Energy’s Redeem™ brand of renewable natural gas (RNG), rated up to
70 percent cleaner than diesel and considered the cleanest
transportation fuel available. The agency is transitioning their
LNG fleet to CNG, and will continue to fuel their fleet at Clean
Energy’s Anaheim and Garden Grove locations during the transition
which is expected to be complete in 2017.
Refuse
- In October Republic Services, one of
the nation’s largest refuse companies, opened a private fueling
station in Daly City, California to support its contract for refuse
services with the city. The time-fill station was built by Clean
Energy to support 21 CNG refuse vehicles and is estimated to
dispense approximately 215,000 GGEs per year.
- Universal Waste Systems and Burrtec
Waste Services, refuse providers in Los Angeles County, have both
signed multi-year fueling agreements with Clean Energy for CNG.
Both companies will also use Clean Energy’s Redeem™ brand of RNG.
The contracts call for Universal to use up to 550,000 GGEs per year
and Burrtec to use approximately 200,000 GGEs per year.
In addition to these projects, Clean Energy Fuels secured over
$400,000 in grant funding for Clean Energy customers Amato
Industries, Bimbo Bakeries, and Testa Produce. The funds, provided
by the states of Pennsylvania, Illinois and California, allow
companies to purchase natural gas vehicles, including the purchase
of 18 heavy-duty CNG vehicles by Bimbo.
Natural gas fuel costs less than gasoline or diesel, depending
on local market conditions. The use of natural gas fuel also
reduces greenhouse gas emissions up to 21 percent and up to 70
percent with the use of renewable natural gas. In addition, nearly
all natural gas consumed in North America is produced in North
America.

and operate CNG and LNG fueling stations; manufacture CNG and LNG
