Clean Energy announces new RNG contracts as demand grows
Clean Energy Fuels has announced new RNG contracts as fleets across the US and Canada increasingly continue to adopt clean, low-carbon fuel to power heavy and medium-duty trucks.
The company has reported new fuelling agreements across the US, in Los Angeles, Portland, British Columbia, and Florida.
“Fleets are learning that RNG, together with natural gas engine technology, is a proven solution that can significantly decrease the impact of harmful emissions and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Chad Lindholm, vice-president of Clean Energy Fuels.
“Clean Energy’s corporate vision is directly tied to working with our customers to improve air quality and positively influence public health. We will continue to grow the role of RNG in our fuel offerings to provide a clean and cost-effective alternative to diesel fuel.
