Seal Beach-based Clean Energy Fuels Corp. recently garnered a contract to design, build and maintain a new public-access compressed-natural gas fuel station for the Atlantic County Utilities Authority in New Jersey.
The authority has demonstrated its position as an environmental leader by opting to use clean, natural gas fuel for its refuse fleet, according to Clean Energy Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer James Harger.
“We are delighted to have this opportunity to work with the Atlantic County Utilities Authority to support their efforts to curb harmful air pollution and global warming emissions,” he says.
In an effort to preserve environmental quality, ACUA will transition its fleet of refuse collection trucks from diesel to natural gas power. Natural gas produces up to 23 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than diesel fuel in heavy-duty vehicles, and up to 30 percent less greenhouse gas emission than gasoline fuel in light- and medium-duty vehicles.
