Clean Energy Fuels said that it has been awarded the contract by the city of San Antonio, Texas, to design, build and operate the city’s first compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling station, which will initially fuel 15 refuse trucks and is expected to expand to fuel 30 refuse trucks by 2009.
Two Brooklyn-based paper collection and recycling companies, Metropolitan Paper and Filco Carting, have become the first commercial carters to purchase CNG trucks in New York City, the company said.
CalMet Services, a waste collection services provider in southern California, has partnered with Clean Energy to deploy 25 CNG refuse trucks over two years. Clean Energy’s station will initially dispense an estimated 250,000 gallons of natural gas annually and will be designed to accommodate future growth.
In California, waste collection services provider, Ware Disposal, is initiating its use of natural gas vehicles by deploying its first two CNG trucks and will be taking delivery of nine more CNG trucks in March 2008.
