Chevron Partners with Clean Energy on Adopt-a-Port Initiative to Reduce Emissions
July 08 2020 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
Chevron announced today that it is partnering with California
natural gas retailer Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (CLNE) on
Adopt-a-Port, an initiative that provides truck operators serving
the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach with cleaner,
carbon-negative renewable natural gas (RNG) to reduce
emissions.
For its part, Chevron will provide funding for Adopt-a-Port and
supply RNG to Clean Energy stations near the ports. Chevron’s
funding will allow truck operators to subsidize the cost of buying
new RNG-powered trucks. Clean Energy, meanwhile, will manage the
program, including offering fueling services for qualified truck
operators.
Truck operators participating in the program, which supports the
ports’ Clean Trucks Program and Clean Air Action Plan, agree to
fuel up at the Clean Energy stations supplied with Chevron RNG.
Truck operators and their import and export customers will help
local communities by reducing smog-forming NOx emissions by 98
percent compared to diesel trucks while also eliminating climate
pollutants.
“We are excited to be partnering with Clean Energy as we
continue to innovate in the renewable, low-carbon fuel space,” said
Mike Vomund, Chevron vice president of Americas Products – West.
“Along with other recent investments like CalBio, selling branded
renewable diesel in San Diego County and piloting EV charging
stations, Adopt-a-Port further demonstrates Chevron’s commitment to
increasing renewables in support of our business, continuing our
overall aim to provide the affordable, reliable and ever-cleaner
energy.”
“Switching trucks to fuel with RNG is vital to improving air
quality and fighting climate change in our country’s largest port
complex,” said Greg Roche, vice president, Clean Energy. “We’re
proud to partner with Chevron on the Adopt-a-Port initiative that
will put additional clean, carbon-negative trucks on the road and
lessen the environmental impact on operations in the region.”
