Six Green Fuel Stations Launch Across US Freight Routes

Trucking just got cleaner and cheaper in six major freight hubs across America. Clean Energy Fuels opened six new renewable natural gas stations designed specifically for heavy-duty trucks traveling the nation's busiest shipping routes.

The new stations span coast to coast, with locations in California, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Washington. Each site sits near major distribution centers and features multiple fast-fill pumps that can handle large tractor-trailer combinations.

This expansion brings Clean Energy's total network to more than 600 fueling stations across North America. The timing couldn't be better for trucking companies facing sky-high diesel prices and pressure to reduce their carbon footprint.

Renewable natural gas offers a rare win-win for fleet operators. The fuel actually has negative carbon intensity, meaning it removes more carbon from the atmosphere than it produces. That helps shipping companies meet their emissions reduction goals without breaking the bank.

Chad Lindholm, Senior Vice President at Clean Energy, highlighted the practical benefits. With diesel prices staying high and unpredictable, RNG gives fleets a stable, affordable alternative that also cuts carbon emissions significantly.

The expansion also supports the growing adoption of Cummins' X15N natural gas engine, a 15-liter powerhouse now available from multiple truck manufacturers. More fueling stations mean fleet operators can confidently make the switch without worrying about getting stranded.

The Ripple Effect

This network expansion reaches far beyond just cleaner trucks. Every freight company that switches to renewable natural gas reduces emissions across entire supply chains, helping countless retailers and manufacturers meet their own climate commitments.

The six new locations serve Bordentown, New Jersey; Tracy and West Sacramento, California; Woodhaven, Michigan; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Pacific, Washington. Together, they create crucial links in an emerging green infrastructure for America's $800 billion trucking industry.

Clean Energy's broader network already serves transit buses, garbage trucks, municipal vehicles, and airport operations. The company is proving that heavy-duty transportation can run cleaner without sacrificing performance or profitability.

The freight industry is finding its green path forward, one fueling station at a time.
