Clean Energy's project, continued ...Published: January 11, 2010

And Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, will offer a new public access CNG station that operates 24 hours, 7 days a week and serves The Parking Spot CNG shuttles as well as fleets owned by other off-airport parking operators, taxis and fleet vehicles in the Northeast Houston area. Ranked as America’s eighth-largest airport, the airport now serves more than 43 million passengers annually.

The new CNG fueling station near McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas will offer convenient, around-the-clock access to limousines, taxis, shuttle vans and buses that serve airport and major Las Vegas hotels, attractions and businesses. “We recognize that air quality is one of the most difficult environmental issues facing Las Vegas today,” says Brent Bell, president of Bell Transportation. “Our company is committed to supporting local vehicle emissions control initiatives, and we have begun the process of transitioning our fleets to alternative fuel power. We are delighted to work with Clean Energy in this effort.”

McCarran International Airport serves Las Vegas and Clark County in southern Nevada. Located five miles south of the Las Vegas Central Business District, it’s ranked 15th in the world for passenger traffic, with 44 million travelers passing through the terminal each year.

Clean Energy is the leading provider of natural gas for transportation in North America. The company has a broad customer base in the refuse, transit, ports, shuttle, taxi, trucking, airport and municipal fleet markets, fueling more than 17,500 vehicles at 195 strategic locations across the United States and Canada.

“Aware of high concentrations of harmful emissions in and around airports, and concerned about reducing dependence on foreign oil, airports and their allied services are increasingly adopting alternative-fuel policies for their ground transportation vehicles,” says James Harger, Clean Energy’s chief marketing officer and senior vice president. “In most cases, they opt to transition their fleets to vehicles powered by clean-burning natural gas.”

Harger says that natural gas fuel produces up to 30 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline when used in light-duty vehicles and up to 23 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than diesel when used in medium- to heavy-duty applications.
