Canada’s Natural Gas Fueling Network to Expand in Important Trade
Corridor
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 20, 2018--
Clean
Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE)
announced today that it has been awarded a contract to construct three
compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations in Ontario, Canada for
Union Energy Solutions Limited Partnership (UES), an unregulated
affiliate of Union Gas – an Enbridge Company, a major Canadian natural
gas storage, transmission and distribution company.
The stations, which will be in London, Windsor and Napanee, will make
fueling with clean CNG
possible along Highway 401 in Ontario, one of the busiest highways in North
America and the main route from the Windsor border at Detroit, to
Quebec City on the St. Lawrence Seaway, strategically and economically
vital to trade between Canada and the U.S. The three stations will add
to Clean Energy’s network of over 530 natural gas fueling stations that
it owns and/or operates in 42 U.S. states and other provinces in Canada,
and are expected to initially distribute an estimated 600,000 gasoline
gallon equivalents (GGEs) per year.
“Reducing greenhouse gases remains a high priority for North America’s
transportation industry,” said Sarah Van Der Paelt, vice president,
Union Energy Solutions Limited Partnership. “Building
these stations on such an important commercial route will provide
the necessary infrastructure and opportunity for fleets to make a
successful transition to traditional and renewable
natural gas which dramatically reduce GHGs versus diesel-fueled
trucks.”
“Entering into this agreement with Union Energy Solutions will enable us
to provide more outlets for clean natural gas, which in turn will help
reduce toxic and unhealthful diesel gas emissions in the region,” said
Chad Lindholm, Vice President of Sales at Clean Energy. “This network of
CNG stations will enable heavy-duty
truck fleets to confidently travel these routes ensuring they have
sufficient fuel as they cross Canadian and provincial borders as well as
travelling into the United States.”
