annually for Amazon and other truck fleets in the greater Chicago
area.

“The addition of the Romeoville station to our fueling network
represents another step in the pathway for Amazon to realize
significant carbon reduction for its transportation fleets,” said
Chad Lindholm, senior vice president, Clean Energy. “Trucks that
operate on diesel are incredibly harmful to the air we breathe and
contribute to long-term climate change. Renewable natural gas is a
viable solution that provides immediate benefits, and as such this
station will mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the
impact of climate change in the Chicago area.”
Located at 300 Southcreek Parkway, the Romeoville station is
part of an agreement between Clean Energy and Amazon for Clean
Energy to build 19 stations nationwide. The station is intended to
support the retailer in its adoption of RNG, a sustainable fuel
produced from organic waste, which has been given an average carbon
rating of -317 by the California Air Resources Board and is helping
fleets to further their carbon reduction and fiscal goals.
The station initially will fuel more than 100 Amazon trucks and
is designed with sufficient fueling capacity to accommodate several
hundred more trucks. Amazon heavy-duty trucks have already fueled
at more than 86 existing Clean Energy stations around the country
and under the agreement announced last year, another 17 new Clean
Energy-owned stations are slated to follow Romeoville, with several
expected to open early next year.
By dispensing 1.4 million gallons of RNG annually instead of
diesel, the Romeoville station will reduce carbon emissions by
15,219 MT metric tons—the equivalent of growing 253,643 trees for
ten years, removing 3,308 passenger cars from the road, or reducing
6,112 tons of landfill waste.
The Romeoville station spans 8.2 acres and includes multiple
public access fast-fill dispensers for easy in-and-out fueling of
RNG; time-fill posts for up to 152 trucks, allowing for
cost-effective fueling and the most advanced technology
transmitting real-time data to customers; and 153 parking places
for drivers’ personal vehicles. Beginning today, this
multi-million-dollar station gives the thousands of heavy-duty
trucking fleets that operate throughout the busy Chicago area the
ability to fuel with a clean, renewable, and sustainable fuel.
“We’re pleased that fleets that operate in Romeoville will now
have the option to use RNG fuel,” said Romeoville Mayor John Noak.
“It’s a fuel that will improve air quality and have a positive
impact on climate change.”
Clean Energy is also investing in the production of renewable
natural gas with partners, TotalEnergies and bp, at dairies
throughout the Midwest. The RNG produced at these dairies and
others around the country will flow into the Romeoville station and
Clean Energy’s nationwide fueling infrastructure.
The RNG digesters at dairies allow their owners to solve the
problem of fugitive methane while realizing an additional revenue
stream.
