“Being awarded our first hydrogen station and supply contract
for Foothill Transit is very important to Clean Energy because it
demonstrates our ability to move to different alternative fuels as
our customers expand to other technologies,” said Andrew J.
Littlefair, president and CEO, Clean Energy. “Transit agencies like
Foothill have been on the forefront of alternative fuels for
decades because it’s in their DNA to serve their communities with
clean transportation. Clean Energy has enjoyed being along for the
ride with Foothill as it tackles air quality and greenhouse gas
issues.”
Foothill Transit has been a 20-year partner with Clean Energy
and is currently operating over 300 of their buses with renewable
natural gas (RNG) at two stations built by Clean Energy. The agency
is now entrusting Clean Energy to build its first hydrogen station
in Pomona, CA, as it expands into another clean alternative fuel.
The contract is valued at more than $13 million.
The project will be funded using assistance from the Federal
Transportation Agency. Foothill Transit has placed an initial order
for 20 fuel cell buses, and the station is designed to support many
more.
“Our new hydrogen fuel cell fleet is the next step in our
evolution towards a zero emissions future,” said Doran Barnes, CEO
of Foothill Transit. “Our long-time partner, Clean Energy, has been
providing low carbon RNG for our buses for years and we look
forward to continuing to work with them as we expand into hydrogen
fuel cell technology and fuel.”
In response to the solicitation, five proposals were submitted
to Foothill Transit. Following interviews and an evaluation, Clean
Energy was selected, receiving the highest technical and overall
score.
In recommending the award to its Board, the Foothill Transit
staff stated: “Clean Energy has a long, successful track record
executing public works and transit projects, including two CNG
stations for Foothill Transit. They have designed, built, operated
and maintained cryogenic, LNG, CNG and RNG services to 80 current
transit customers, including our Pomona and Arcadia
facilities.”
Clean Energy is a leader in the development and delivery of RNG,
a sustainable fuel derived from organic waste, which will represent
33.3% of the hydrogen feedstock for Foothill Transit buses.
Partnering in the station construction project are Fiedler
Group, which will provide engineering design support as a
subcontractor for Clean Energy, and Messer Group, which will
provide hydrogen equipment, liquid hydrogen fuel, and station
design under the Clean Energy contract.
Clean Energy’s construction contractor for the project is
Nicosia Contracting International, who Clean Energy has worked with
for nearly two decades.
