Clean Energy Bags Contract To Operate CNG Fuel Stations In Long Beach

Seal Beach, CA - The City of Long Beach, CA has approved a 10-year contract authorizing Clean Energy to operate and supply the City's public access compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel stations.

Working with the Long Beach Gas & Oil Department, Clean Energy will manage, maintain, and supply CNG fuel to a three-station operation. In addition, the company will upgrade each location with state-of-the-art fuel dispensing, compressor and support equipment, according to Clean Energy. Open to all motorists who drive CNG-powered vehicles, the stations also serve the extensive Long Beach natural gas vehicle fleet, plus area CNG taxis and transport vans.

Clean Energy claims that CNG is more economical than gasoline; and in comparison to gasoline-powered cars, natural gas-fueled vehicles reduce carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide emissions significantly.
