USA: Clean Energy signs multiple RNG supply contracts
Along with the expansion of its filling network, Clean Energy announced several Redeem fuel supply agreeements with key sectors of the transportation industry.
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. announced new fuel agreements for its Redeem renewable natural gas (RNG). The “significant contracts”, says the company in a press release, accommodate the continued demand for its ultra-low carbon fuel across refuse, transit, trucking and municipal customers.
The announcement of these supply agreements come along with an expansion of Clean Energy’s RNG filling station network.
“Despite this unprecedented challenging time that the country is experiencing with COVID-19, Clean Energy continues to expand the use of a clean, ultra-low carbon fuel to fleets,” said Chad Lindholm, vice president, Clean Energy. “Many of our customers including heavy-duty trucking, refuse, and transit agencies are performing heroic duty by continuing to operate under extreme difficult circumstances. We applaud them and will support them any way we can.”
Clean Energy’s first RNG supply agreement with a California School District, Garden Grove Unified School District, consists of a 5-year RNG supply for approximate 575,000 gallons to fuel 67 vehicles.
The company also received an extension with the Atlantic County Utilities Authority in New Jersey for operations, maintenance, retail, billing and marketing services for 40 trucks for an estimated 560,000 gallons per year.
K&I Services, Inc. in Bakersfield, California, has signed an agreement to purchase seven new trucks through Clean Energy’s Zero Now, a program that brings the cost of a natural gas truck at parity with a diesel truck while offering a guaranteed fuel discount. Clean Energy will supply K&I with an estimated 540,000 gallons of Redeem over the 5-year contract for waste transfer trucks that will service the LA County Department of Sanitation and fuel at the Clean Energy station in Whittier.
In addition, Sacramento-based trucking company Matheson Postal Services signed an extension to its fueling agreement with Clean Energy for 80 CNG tractors operating in service to the US Postal Service.
