Business Wire
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) today released the
second edition of “The Road to Natural Gas,” an update of truck
companies, refuse haulers, fleet operators, airports,
municipalities and other organizations which are making the switch
to natural gas with transportation fuel, station construction and
services provided by Clean Energy.
“The momentum towards natural gas in transportation is
definitely picking up speed,” said Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean
Energy’s CEO and president. “This second edition of The Road to
Natural Gas confirms Clean Energy’s leadership position in
providing a growing list of customers with the CNG, LNG and
services that allow them to take advantage of the economic and
environmental benefits of using natural gas. I’m also pleased that
we remain on track to complete the number of fueling stations along
our America’s Natural Gas Highway® that will connect the essential
corridors for the trucking industry.”
The second edition of The Road to Natural Gas (attached below)
contains a listing of agreements signed or executed since the first
edition was released on July 31, 2012. (To view Volume I, go to
http://www.cleanenergyfuels.com/news/2012/7-31-12.html). Also
included is a list of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) stations
completed over the last three months as part of Clean Energy’s
America’s Natural Gas Highway®. Many of the new stations are
located at Pilot Flying J truck stops, Clean Energy’s partner.
Currently priced up to $1.50 a gallon lower than gasoline or
diesel depending on local markets, the use of natural gas fuel
reduces operating costs for vehicles and reduces greenhouse gas
emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles and 23% in medium to
heavy-duty vehicles. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that 98%
of the natural gas consumed in the U.S. is sourced in the U.S. and
Canada, making natural gas a secure North American energy
choice.
Clean Energy (Nasdaq: CLNE) is the largest provider of
natural gas fuel for transportation in North America and a global
leader in the expanding natural gas vehicle fueling market. We have
operations in compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural
gas (LNG) vehicle fueling and construction and operation of natural
gas fueling stations. Wholly-owned subsidiaries include IMW
Industries, Ltd., which supplies CNG equipment for vehicle fueling
and industrial applications worldwide; NorthStar, which supplies
LNG and liquefied to compressed natural gas fueling system
technologies and equipment, station construction and operations;
BAF Technologies, which provides natural gas vehicle systems and
conversions for taxis, vans, pick-up trucks and shuttle buses; and
Clean Energy Renewable Fuels (CERF), which develops renewable
natural gas (RNG), or biomethane, production facilities in the U.S.
