Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE) today announced the
opening of its newest natural gas fueling station, located at 6155

natural gas vehicles ranging in size from passenger cars and
airport support vehicles to heavy-duty trucks.

“With over 57 million tourists annually, Orlando is one of the
most important tourist destinations in the United States. There is
a tremendous opportunity to utilize natural gas in transportation
to cut emissions, improving air quality throughout the region,”
said Mark Riley, vice president, Clean Energy Fuels.
The compressed natural gas fueling (CNG) station, under a
20-year lease agreement with the Greater Orlando Aviation
Authority, accepts all major credit cards and fleet cards. The
station joins Clean Energy’s public-access CNG station located at
Tampa International Airport in offering natural gas fuel to area
fleets looking to reduce their fueling expense and greenhouse gas
emissions.
“Orlando International Airport is committed to pursuing and
promoting green initiatives that reinforce our reputation as a
conscientious community partner,” said Phil Brown, executive
director of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. “This station
is an important component of our sustainability effort and is an
environmentally responsible way to ensure the natural beauty of
Central Florida is protected for future generations.”
The opening of this public natural gas fueling station in
Orlando will make it even easier for local and regional fleets to
make the switch to cleaner and more cost-effective natural gas
fuel.
Natural gas fuel costs up to $1.00 less per gallon than gasoline
or diesel, depending on local market conditions. The use of natural
gas fuel not only reduces operating costs for vehicles, but also
reduces greenhouse gas emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles
and 23% in medium to heavy-duty vehicles. In addition, nearly all
natural gas consumed in North America is produced domestically.
