Clean Energy Partners with METRO to Build the First Private Natural Gas Fueling Station for Houston
Clean Energy Fuels Corp., the largest provider of the cleanest fuel for the transportation market, on Thursday announced a new agreement with the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO), the region’s largest public transport provider, to build the agency’s first private compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station. The new state-of-the-art facility will be the first of its kind and will exclusively serve up to 120 of METRO’s newest natural gas-powered transit buses operating busy routes throughout Houston and beyond.
Under the new agreement, Clean Energy will design and build the new station, upgrade the current site’s bays, and provide operations and maintenance services for the station that is expected to consume 2 million gallons of CNG annually when it is completed and fully operational, the company said.
