“Our customers have continued to operate their essential
businesses at a very high level, despite significant challenges
from the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Nate Jensen, senior vice
president renewable fuels, Clean Energy. “This means that essential
employees are able to get to work, refuse is collected every day,
and goods movement continues uninterrupted throughout the U.S. Our
customers have demonstrated their commitment to sustainable
transportation by enthusiastically embracing our ultra-low carbon
Redeem RNG. In response, we have significantly augmented our
supplies of Redeem RNG and expect to provide ever-increasing
volumes of the clean, sustainable fuel to our customers.”
Clean Energy’s Redeem was the first commercially available RNG
vehicle fuel, derived from capturing the biogenic methane produced
by the decomposition of organic waste from dairies, landfills, and
wastewater treatment plants. Redeem reduces climate-harming
greenhouse gas emissions by at least 70 percent, and even up to 300
percent depending on the source of the RNG, making it a negative
carbon fuel.
Food Express
Specializing in the transportation of food grade dry bulk
commodities in the Western U.S., Food Express, Inc., based in
Arcadia, CA has contracted Clean Energy to build a station in
Maywood, CA that will deliver an estimated 4.7 million gallons of
Redeem for its fleet of 60 RNG trucks. The deal also includes an
operations and maintenance agreement for the station, which is
expected to be completed by mid-2021.
“We’re pleased to work with Clean Energy on construction of a
new fast fill station in Maywood, California,” said Food Express
President Kevin Keeney. “Building a station that is dedicated to
our fleet will provide more seamless access to ultra-low-carbon RNG
and will further our company’s sustainable transportation
goals.”
Adopt-A-Port
Pacific Green Trucking, Inc., which operates drayage vehicles in
the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, is adding 39 new RNG
trucks to its fleet through the Chevron and Clean Energy
partnership Adopt-A-Port program. In migrating from diesel fuel to
RNG, Pacific Green has committed to an approximate 2.3 million
gallons of Redeem.
“Switching trucks to fuel with Renewable Fuels 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 see our partnership with Chevron on the
Adopt-a-Port in action to put cleaner, carbon-negative trucks on
the road and lessen the environmental impact on operations in the
region.”
Rolling with RNG
CR&R Environmental Services has renewed a contract for an
anticipated 20 million gallons of Redeem to fuel over 200 CNG waste
and recycling trucks at its Garden Grove and Perris stations. This
volume is expected to increase as CR&R completes replacement of
more diesel trucks in the coming years.
In San Juan Capistrano, CA, CR&R has extended a separate
contract for an expected 9 million gallons of Redeem to power over
100 LNG waste and recycling trucks.
Waste Connections, the third largest waste company in North
America, has inked a multi-year extended supply contract for an
approximate 8 million gallons of Redeem to meet its growing RNG
truck fleet needs. A long-term customer of Clean Energy, Waste
Connections has expanded its fleet of 110 waste trucks to 100
percent RNG at its San Jose hauling company.
“RNG is a low-carbon alternative to diesel that provides
numerous environmental and economic benefits,” said Paul Nelson,
Division Vice President of Waste Connections. “Our RNG trucks
perform well, don’t require significant infrastructure development,
and support the broader environmental objectives of the customer
base we serve. Fueling our fleet with Redeem provides us a long
term GHG solution for the market and helps us achieve our corporate
sustainability goals.”
Long-time Clean Energy customer Atlas Disposal, a waste hauling
company based in Sacramento, has signed a multi-year extension
contract for an anticipated 10 million gallons of Redeem across
their two stations – Sacramento and San Jose.
“When it comes to alternative fuel technology, there is no
better solution than natural gas trucks from a performance,
emissions and cost benefit perspective. And when those trucks use
RNG, it’s a game changer for the market,” said Dave Sikich,
president, Atlas Disposal. “Being good stewards of the environment
was one of the pillars on which Atlas Disposal was founded, so we
are proud of our commitment to be a 100% RNG company across all our
fleet operations. RNG is the best low-carbon solution for companies
like ours.”
Big Blue Bus, the transit agency that services one of the most
environmentally conscious cities in Los Angeles County, Santa
Monica, CA, has extended its Redeem fueling contract with Clean
Energy for an anticipated 4 million gallons of RNG to fill its bus
fleet, one of the largest in the nation.
Zero Now
Linden Bulk Transportation LLC, a subsidiary of Odyssey
Logistics & Technology Corporation, has added two new natural
gas trucks to its fleet through Clean Energy’s Zero Now program.
The offering brings the price of a natural gas truck at parity with
a diesel truck, while offering a guaranteed fuel discount for the
duration of the agreement.
The new CNG tractors will fuel with an estimated 20,000 gallons
of CNG and are the first in Linden’s plan to add more natural gas
trucks to the Odyssey fleet.
“Natural gas powers more than 12 million vehicles on the road
today – and for good reason,” said Michael Salz, president of
Linden Bulk Transportation. “Companies like Odyssey use natural gas
tractors to reduce smog-forming emissions and pollutants and better
align with carbon footprint and sustainability goals.”
National Cement, based in Encino, CA, has purchased 15 new RNG
concrete mixers through Clean Energy’s Zero Now program, with a
multi-year fuel agreement for an anticipated 675,000 gallons of
Redeem.
The Town of Smithtown on Long Island, NY has again required the
use of natural gas refuse trucks in its city refuse franchise and
signed a corresponding term extension for Clean Energy’s fueling
services. Clean Energy has signed Zero Now agreements with the four
new solid waste and recycling companies serving the Town, including
Alpha Carting, T&D, Total Collection and Winters Bros., for a
total 22 trucks with a multi-year fueling contract for an estimated
1.3 million gallons of natural gas.
Expanded Fueling Services
Denver International Airport has signed a multi-year extended
contract for an estimated 7.5 million gallons of natural gas to
fuel airport ground transportation. Six airport stations provide
fuel for natural gas buses, maintenance pick-up trucks and baggage
tugs.
Clean Energy has signed a supply agreement with AmeriGas for an
anticipated initial 1.1 million gallons of fuel which is expected
to grow substantially in 2021 and beyond. AmeriGas has several
customers in Mexico for industrial use purposes as pipeline gas is
not readily available.
U.S. Concrete has signed a fuel agreement for 360,000 gallons of
CNG at Clean Energy stations within the five boroughs of New York
City to fuel 42 of its natural gas ready mix trucks.
With the assistance of federal grant funding, Jacksonville
Transportation Authority (JTA) replaced eight diesel buses with new
natural gas units. These additional buses will support JTA’s
sustainability efforts by eliminating diesel buses that emit higher
CO2 emissions. Since 2015, Clean Energy has provided fueling
services to JTA, which currently consumes an estimated 1.2 million
gallons of natural gas annually.
The City of Surrey, B.C., Canada, recently announced the
completion and commissioning of a new natural gas station. This
station, which was built and will now be operated by Clean Energy,
will fuel the City’s natural gas municipal vehicle fleet using an
estimated 250,000 gallons of natural gas.
Livermore Sanitation in California has signed an agreement for a
station upgrade and operations and maintenance services to power

refuse and other City trucks.
