Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE) today announced that it
has supplied Hawaii Gas with the first shipment of liquefied
natural gas (LNG) in Hawaii state history. Hawaii Gas recently
received approval from the Hawaii Public Utility Commission to land
containerized LNG for use as a back-up fuel source for its Oahu
synthetic natural gas plant. Clean Energy’s initial delivery
totaled approximately 7,100 LNG gallons.

“Natural gas has again proven its versatility by meeting the
fueling needs of Hawaii Gas in an economically and
environmentally-friendly manner,” said Brian Powers, vice president
of LNG production at Clean Energy. “Hawaii Gas has shown leadership
in its multi-year commitment to bring the benefits of natural gas
to the ratepayers of Hawaii.”
The LNG was loaded into an ISO container at Clean Energy’s
liquefaction plant in Boron, Calif., transported to the Port of Los
Angeles and then shipped to Honolulu, Hawaii, where it was
re-gasified and injected into Hawaii Gas’s utility distribution
pipeline.
“These initial shipments of LNG represent an important step in
support of Hawaii’s clean energy future,” said Alicia Moy, Chief
Executive Officer of Hawaii Gas. “Bringing LNG in ISO containers
allows us to diversify our existing fuel supply. As we bring in
larger quantities of LNG, we believe we can meet the needs of the
people and businesses of Hawaii by lowering their cost of energy
with a lower-carbon fuel.”
Hawaii Gas is working in partnership with stakeholders
throughout the state to utilize LNG as a less expensive and cleaner
burning fuel for utility and commercial power generation as well as
for ground and marine transportation.
