Clean Energy announces multiple RNG deals with fleets nationwide

Clean Energy Fuels Corp., a Newport Beach, California-based provider of clean fuel for the transportation market, has announced a series of renewable natural gas (RNG) deals with trucking, refuse and transit fleets nationwide.

The company has extended its partnership with Cerritos, California-based Ecology Transportation Services, which Clean Energy says serves as one of southern California’s largest adopters of RNG for trucking. The agreement will supply Ecology’s fleet of 150 RNG vehicles with an estimated 2.1 million gallons of RNG annually. The trucks will fuel at Clean Energy stations across California, Arizona and Nevada.

Clean Energy’s long-term partner Recology, a waste hauler headquartered in San Francisco, is upgrading its fueling stations in Seattle and Snohomish, Washington. Clean Energy says it will provide operations and maintenance services for both sites to support Recology’s growth in the greater Seattle region. The company continues to partner with Houston-based WM, providing operations and maintenance services for more than 85 WM RNG stations across the U.S. and Canada.

Under a new agreement, Clean Energy will continue to operate and maintain Nashville International Airport’s natural gas station, providing 63 shuttle buses and fleet vehicles with approximately 350,000 gallons of fuel annually.

Additionally, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority has extended its relationship with Clean Energy, awarding a new operations and maintenance contract to support its natural gas bus fleet. The agreement covers five million gallons of fuel to support over 400 buses which will serve the local community. The company also will begin providing RNG to 78 Arlington Transit buses in the state of Virgina, totaling approximately 750,000 gallons annually, as well as continued repair and maintenance services.

Lastly, Clean Energy has signed agreements aimed at serving municipalities, including:

• an operations and maintenance agreement with ABM Facility Services to maintain three transit bus fueling stations for the city of Phoenix;
• an extended maintenance contract with the city of Scottsdale, Arizona, to continue supporting 49 of its refuse vehicles; and
• an RNG supply agreement with the city of Fort Smith, Arkansas, to fuel its refuse trucks.

“2025 was a rough year for other alternatives that didn’t live up to the hype,” Chad Lindholm, senior vice president at Clean Energy, says. “But 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 fueling infrastructure already in place. These new agreements … reflect that growing recognition across diverse fleet applications.”
