Clean Energy signs RNG deals with US fleet operators

Clean Energy Fuels has announced a series of renewable natural gas supply and infrastructure agreements with trucking, refuse, and transit fleets across the United States. The company says the deals reflect continued adoption of RNG as fleets seek alternatives to diesel for meeting sustainability targets.

Among the agreements, Clean Energy has extended its partnership with Ecology Transportation Services, supplying an estimated 2.1 million gallons of RNG annually to the Southern California trucking company’s fleet of 150 vehicles. The company will also continue providing operations and maintenance services for more than 85 WM stations across the US and Canada, supporting 8,000 RNG-powered refuse trucks.

In transit, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority has extended its relationship with Clean Energy under a new operations and maintenance contract covering five million gallons of fuel for over 400 buses. Clean Energy will also begin supplying RNG to 78 Arlington Transit buses in Virginia, totalling approximately 750,000 gallons annually.

Additional agreements include maintenance contracts with ABM Facility Services for City of Phoenix transit bus stations, the City of Scottsdale for refuse vehicles, and Nashville International Airport for shuttle buses.

In a statement, Chad Lindholm, Senior Vice President at Clean Energy, said: “Fleets continue to seek proven solutions to meet sustainability targets and they’re finding that the RNG metrics deliver on multiple fronts—it’s clean, affordable, has diesel-like capability, is domestically produced, and there is a robust fuelling infrastructure already in place.”
