“What we are now observing is that municipalities which are eager to meet their environmental and fiscal goals can do this with renewable natural gas (RNG) easily, immediately and cost-effectively. Many cities are now making clean fuel a requirement for their transportation needs because of local, state and federal requirements to reduce emissions. RNG is the best solution to meet those needs,” said Chad Lindholm, senior vice president at Clean Energy.

In a competitive bid, Clean Energy won the contract against other fuel providers to become the sole RNG provider for the City of Fort Collins, Colo. transit and fleet vehicles. RNG is a sustainable transportation fuel made from organic waste which drastically reduces carbon emissions by an average of 300% versus diesel. The deal will cover RNG supply for three fueling stations owned and operated by the city. 500,000 gallons of clean-burning RNG will power 52 transit buses and other service vehicles annually.

“Here in Fort Collins, we are committed to renewable fuels and cleaning up our emissions to help reduce transport-related pollution throughout the city. We are firm believers in sustainability and our desire was to have the greatest percentage of RNG available for our CNG fleet. We are pleased to partner with Clean Energy to fuel our growing fleet and lower the city’s carbon footprint,” said Tracy Ochsner, Director Operation Services at the City of Fort Collins.

The City of Beverly Hills, Calif. has signed a new deal to power its waste vehicles with RNG. The deal is contracted to provide 119,000 gallons of RNG to the city’s 17 solid waste fleet vehicles annually. Clean Energy will also provide monthly maintenance services for their fueling station.
