Clean Energy signs deals for over 58 million gallons of Redeem RNG

Clean Energy Fuels Corp has announced new and extended contracts for more than 58 million gallons of its Redeem renewable natural gas (RNG).

The new contracts represent continued demand for sustainable fuels in the heavy-duty trucking, solid waste, and public transit sectors.

“Our customers have continued to operate their essential businesses at a very high level, despite significant challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Nate Jensen, senior vice-president of renewable fuels at Clean Energy.

“This means that essential employees are able to get to work, refuse is collected every day, and goods movement continues uninterrupted throughout the US.

“Our customers have demonstrated their commitment to sustainable transportation by enthusiastically embracing our ultra-low carbon Redeem RNG. In response, we have significantly augmented our supplies of Redeem RNG and expect to provide ever-increasing volumes of the clean, sustainable fuel to our customers.”

Specialising in the transport of good grade dry bulk commodities in the western US, Food Express, based in California, has contracted Clean Energy to build a station in Maywood, California. The station will deliver an estimated 4.7 million gallons of Redeem for its fleet of 60 RNG trucks. The deal includes an operations and maintenance agreement for the station, which is expected to be completed by mid-2021.

Waste Connections, the third-largest waste firm in North America, has signed a multi-year extended supply contract for approximately 8 million gallons to meet its growing RNG truck fleet needs.

As a long-term customer of Clean Energy, Waste Connections has expanded its fleet of 110 waste trucks to 100% run at its San Jose hauling company.

Paul Nelson, division vice-president of Waste Connections, said: “Our RNG trucks perform well, don’t require significant infrastructure development, and support the broader environmental objectives of the customer base we serve.

“Fuelling our fleet with Redeem provides us with a long-term greenhouse gas solution for the market and helps us achieve our corporate sustainability goals.”

Another long-term Clean Energy customer, Atlas Disposal, a waste hauling firm based in Sacramento, has signed a multi-year extension contract for an anticipated 10 million gallons of Redeem across their two stations – Sacramento and San Jose.

“When it comes to alternative fuel technology, there’s no better solution than natural gas trucks from a performance, emissions, and cost-benefit perspective, and when those trucks use RNG, it’s a game-changer for the market,” said Atlas Disposal’s president, Dave Sikich.
