In the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Clean Energy’s Adopt-a-Port program with Chevron continues to gain momentum, with more fleets switching to RNG. Chevron has committed to provide a total of $28 million of financing to trucking companies serving the ports region as well as owner-operators to purchase new RNG heavy-duty trucks. So far, over 200 heavy-duty trucks have been contracted through the program and over 400 more are being processed, which will help to clean the air in and around the ports and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

A leader in the move to meet clean air standards in California, Pacific Green Trucking continues to expand its clean fleet in the port region, signing a fueling agreement with Clean Energy for an estimated 1 million gallons of RNG to power 61 new natural gas trucks.

“Reducing our carbon emissions and improving air quality near the ports is a top priority for Pacific Green and we’re doing it one truck at a time,” said Vicente Zarate, president, Pacific Green Trucking. “RNG is the most immediate and cost-efficient way to make the necessary environmental changes for the trucking industry.”

Also deploying another 46 RNG-fueled trucks through the Adopt-a-Port program are NGL Logistics, TDS Logistics, Mortimer & Wallace, Pacific 9, Cota Capital American Pacific Forwarders, Arete Logistics, Paul Suh, Sang’s Express, Pacifica Trucks, Pacific Expressway, Yanxiu Li, IML Transport, Supra National Express, and Atlas Marine.

“Renewable natural gas creates a pathway for our customers to dramatically reduce their carbon emissions and turn their sustainability goals into reality,” said Chad Lindholm, vice president, Clean Energy. “As the demand for RNG accelerates, more clean natural gas trucks are hitting the roads in the Port of Los Angeles and elsewhere, and we’ll be there to provide both the fuel and infrastructure to help fleets realize immediate and significant carbon reduction.”

Republic Services has signed an agreement with Clean Energy for an expansion project in Huntington Beach, CA. The first phase includes expanding an existing RNG fueling station to accommodate more refuse vehicles, as well as adding new fast-fill capabilities for their growing private fleet and transfer truck operations. In the second phase of the expansion, Clean Energy will construct a new station at an adjacent address to fuel 30 additional RNG trucks.

The Portage Area Regional Transportation Authority (PARTA) in Ohio is continuing to add CNG vehicles to its fleet.

“We’re excited to be able to provide this new transportation option for our riders. These vehicles combine the character of early 20th century trolleys with leading-edge green technology,” said Claudia Amrhein, PARTA General Manager and CEO. “The fact that PARTA’s new trolley buses are powered by CNG fuel moves us closer to our goal of lowering our carbon footprint. That’s a win for our riders, PARTA, and the wider community.”
