The Groveport station is first of 19 under
agreement with Amazon
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE), the largest provider of
the cleanest fuel for the transportation market, today celebrated a
ribbon cutting ceremony with state and local officials, agriculture
leaders, and company executives at its new renewable natural gas
(RNG) station in Groveport, OH. Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) trucks will
fuel at the station, which also will provide public access for
local fleets seeking access to RNG, a sustainable fuel produced
from organic waste.

“Large fleets fueling with RNG have the ability to realize
immediate and significant carbon reduction, especially in the
heavy-duty truck sector which could be many years away from
meaningful electrification,” said Andrew J. Littlefair, president
and CEO, Clean Energy. “The opening of our station in Ohio is
exciting because it’s the first of many more to come throughout the
U.S. and will help efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
reduce climate change.”
The Groveport station is the first construction project
completed in an agreement between Clean Energy and Amazon. Many of
the 19 new stations will follow Groveport and should be operational
by the end of the year, supplementing Clean Energy’s fueling
network of 550 stations in North America.
By dispensing 700,000 gallons of RNG annually instead of diesel,
the Groveport station will reduce carbon emissions by 6,848 metric
tons—the equivalent of growing 114,133 trees for ten years,
removing 1,489 passenger cars from the road, or reducing 2,750 tons
of landfill waste.
Also joining the ceremony was Evan Barton, owner of South Fork
Dairy in Newark, OH. Clean Energy recently signed an agreement to
develop a digester that should produce 500,000 gallons of RNG a
year from the manure produced by Mr. Barton’s 3,300 dairy cows when
completed. This $15 million investment at the South Fork Dairy will
produce RNG fuel to be used at the Groveport station and others
around the country. Similar investments in other Ohio dairy farms
are underway, providing farmers to address the issue of fugitive
methane emissions while benefiting from an additional revenue
stream.
The Groveport station covers 6.7 acres and includes multiple
fast-fill dispensers for easy in-and-out fueling of RNG; time-fill
posts for up to 52 trucks, allowing for cost-effective fueling and
the most advanced technology transmitting real-time data to
customers; and 52 parking places for drivers’ personal vehicles.
This multi-million-dollar investment in the Columbus, OH area will
put it on the map as a hub for clean, sustainable fueling. Plans
are already underway to add fueling capacity for additional heavy-
and medium-duty trucks.
RNG is made entirely from organic waste and drastically reduces
greenhouse gas emissions. It is so clean that the California Air
Resources Board gives RNG from dairies an average carbon score of
-343, much cleaner than electric powered vehicles.
