Adding to the Portfolio of over 30 Stations
in the Greater NYC Area
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE), today announced fueling
has begun at its newest public access CNG station in New York,
which is located at JFK International Airport within the
newly-opened JFK multi-fuel travel plaza, the only travel plaza in
New York City available to motorists. Clean Energy will be fueling
many types of fleets including refuse trucks, heavy and medium duty
trucks, ready-mix concrete trucks, as well as shuttles and taxis
that directly serve JFK travelers.

“CNG is an important fueling option for New York businesses and
has proven to be a reliable fuel for the people of New York during
times of natural disaster,” said Peter Grace, senior vice president
of sales and finance at Clean Energy. “We congratulate Airport
Plaza for today’s grand opening and are proud to be the CNG
provider at this innovative alternative fueling station.”
The new public CNG station is open 24/7 and accepts credit cards
and fleet fuel cards. In addition to CNG, the JFK travel plaza also
features other alternative fuels, such as E-85, electric vehicle
charging stations, as well as conventional gasoline and diesel.
However, CNG is the only alternative fuel which can meet the
fueling needs of vehicles ranging from taxis to heavy-duty trucks
which will be fueling at this station.
“As one of the first ready-mix companies in the United States to
utilize natural gas in our ready-mix concrete mixers, we’re excited
about fueling with Clean Energy,” said Bob Gartman, vice president
of operations, Ferrara Brothers Building Materials Corp. “As a
local Queens company based in Flushing, our CNG fueling will not
only positively impact the surrounding community and environment,
limiting the need for foreign oil, but will also positively impact
our bottom line.”
Clean Energy is now successfully operating at every
international airport in the Northeast and currently operates over
thirty public stations in the Tri-State area.
“The New York Department of Sanitation’s municipal refuse fleet
is the largest in the nation and requires a fueling partner who can
meet the demands of our fleet,” said Rocco DiRico, deputy
commissioner, New York City Department of Sanitation. “The new JFK
CNG station makes fueling even easier for our department.”
Natural gas fuel costs up to $1.50 less per gallon than gasoline
or diesel, depending on local market conditions. The use of natural
gas fuel not only reduces operating costs for vehicles, but also
reduces greenhouse gas emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles
and 23% in medium to heavy-duty vehicles. In addition, nearly all
natural gas consumed in North America is produced domestically.
