Clean Energy Inks New Renewable Natural Gas Deals With Cross-Industry Customers Seeking a Sustainable, Clean Fuel
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE), the largest provider of the cleanest fuel for the transportation market, has announced a series of new deals as it continues to meet the growing customer demand for renewable natural gas (RNG), with new fueling contracts, construction of additional fueling infrastructure, and operations and maintenance contracts.
“The last quarter has been one of our best periods for RNG sales with deals closing across the board in the heavy-duty truck, transit, and refuse markets. This is no better proof that RNG is now a recognized, effective alternative fuel solution that works and continues to satisfy the needs of our longer-term customer as well as gain attention from new customers looking for a clean, alternative to cater to their fueling needs,” said Chad Lindholm, senior vice president at Clean Energy.
Clean Energy has signed an RNG fueling agreement with DHL to provide 100,000 gallons annually over a three-year period to power DHL trucks located in California, Texas and Arizona.

Long-time customer and an early adopter of RNG, Food Express, has inked a station build and RNG supply deal for its fleet of 20 heavy-duty Class 8 trucks.
