6 Clean Fuel Stations Open Across America

Trucking companies looking to cut costs and clean up their carbon footprint just got six new options to fuel up with something better than diesel.

Clean Energy Fuels opened six renewable natural gas stations across California, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Washington. The stations sit along major freight routes where thousands of heavy-duty trucks pass through daily.

Here's what makes this fuel different. Renewable natural gas comes from capturing methane that would otherwise escape from landfills, farms, and wastewater treatment plants. Instead of polluting the atmosphere, that waste gas gets cleaned up and turned into fuel.

The timing couldn't be better for trucking companies watching diesel prices swing wildly. RNG offers stable, lower fuel costs while delivering something even more valuable: it's a negative carbon fuel, meaning it actually removes more greenhouse gases than it creates.

"With diesel prices remaining very high and volatile, it's perfect timing to expand our offering of a price-stable, low-cost fuel for fleets who want to cut their carbon emissions, but do it affordably," says Chad Lindholm, senior vice president with Clean Energy.

The stations work just like regular fuel stops. Trucks pulling full trailers can easily access multiple fast-fill pumps at each location, keeping drivers moving without delays.

The Ripple Effect

These six stations join a network of over 600 fueling locations Clean Energy operates across North America. Transit buses, garbage trucks, airport vehicles, and long-haul truckers can now choose cleaner fuel in more places than ever before.

The expansion comes just two months after Clean Energy signed deals with trucking, refuse, and transit fleets nationwide in March. More truck manufacturers are also adopting engines specifically designed to run on this cleaner fuel, like the Cummins X15N engine built for heavy-duty and long-haul work.

Companies trying to meet carbon reduction goals now have a practical solution that doesn't require waiting years for new technology. The fuel works in trucks available today, at stations opening right now, saving money while cutting pollution.

Every gallon of renewable natural gas used instead of diesel means one less gallon of fossil fuel burned and methane waste captured before it reaches the atmosphere. That's turning yesterday's trash into today's clean transportation, one truck stop at a time.
