Clean Energy Awarded New Multi-Use Station, Multi-Year Fueling Agreement for City of Santa Fe Transit and Refuse Agencies

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Clean
Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE)
announced today that it has been awarded a $3 million design, build,
operation and maintenance contract for a new compressed
natural gas (CNG) fueling station which will serve both public and
private customers.

The City of Santa Fe, New Mexico, has contracted with Clean Energy to
build a CNG
fueling station for its transit
and refuse
fleets as well as offering access to the public. The unique station
design will include fast-fill dispensers for Santa Fe Trails, the city’s
transit agency, as well as time-fill
dispensers installed nearby at the city’s Environmental Services
Division for its refuse fleet. The public will be able to fuel their
vehicles via a separate lane with its own quick-fill dispenser.

The station is expected to fuel 67 CNG transit, para-transit and refuse
vehicles, and dispense approximately 440,000 gasoline gallon equivalents
(GGEs) per year, which is expected to increase as the solid waste
department plans on increasing the size of their CNG fleet over the next
5 years.

The operations
and maintenance contract will run for 8 years, beginning with the
opening of the station scheduled for 2018.

“The City of Santa Fe is committed to operate in the most
environmentally responsible manner possible. By fueling our fleet with
CNG, we can decrease the amount of NOx and greenhouse gas emissions that
are emitted into the air,” said Keith Wilson, with the City of Santa
Fe’s Transit Division. “Not only is CNG cleaner, but it is also more
cost effective, which is important for our taxpayers.”

“At Clean Energy, we take pride in working with our customers to develop
fueling solutions that fit their specific need,” said Andrew J.
Littlefair, Clean Energy’s president and chief executive officer. “By
understanding the city’s requirements, we were able to design a fueling
complex that will fuel both transit and refuse vehicles, while
simultaneously allowing the public to have access as well.”
