Clean Energy opens RNG fuel station in Florida

Clean Energy Fuels Corp., a Newport Beach, California-based provider of clean fuel for the transportation market, has opened its latest renewable natural gas (RNG) fueling station in Davenport, Florida. The site is now providing RNG to heavy-duty trucking and other fleets operating in the area.

Made from organic waste, RNG reduces carbon emissions by an average of 300 percent versus diesel. The station’s opening coincides with the introduction of the X15N natural gas engine from Columbus, Indiana-based manufacturer Cummins Inc., designed for heavy-duty trucking fleets looking to shift to ultraclean fuel.

“Clean Energy has seen a strong demand for RNG fuel from both new and existing customers. The Davenport station is in a great location to supply a clean fuel to the many fleets that operate in the central Florida area,” says Chad Lindholm, senior vice president of Clean Energy Fuels. “The investments being made by Clean Energy and many others in RNG production will ensure a steady flow of the RNG fuel to this station and hundreds of others that are in our network around the country.”

The new station sits on 3.7 acres and includes five fast-fill dispensers designed for easy in-and-out fueling and 98 time-fill fueling hoses, the company says.

Clean Energy currently has a network of over 600 fueling stations in North America and is steadily expanding that number with stations purposely built and strategically located for heavy-duty truck fleets. Clean Energy says it is also making substantial investments in the production of RNG at dairy farms.
