LNG refueling station in Dallas
heavy-duty trucks along major interstate corridors in the U.S.
The natural gas fueling infrastructure will
be available to serve trucks traveling across the
U.S. as well as regional trucks working in local
areas. Clean Energy is the largest provider of
natural gas fuel for transportation in North
America and a global leader in the expanding
natural gas vehicle fueling market.
In 2012, Clean Energy completed 70 new
LNG fueling stations along highways that link
major metropolitan areas, and the company
plans to build 80 to 90 more stations in 2013.
“We are going to be on every major interstate in the U.S. in the next couple of years,”
said Jimmy Ramsey, senior business development manager at Clean Energy.
Clean Energy also processes methane
gas from landfills, such as the City of Dallas’
McCommas Bluff Landfill – the third largest
landfill gas operation in the country. The
plant processes nearly 60,000 gasoline gallon
equivalents of biomethane gas per day.
“Instead of this methane gas – which is
among the most potent of greenhouse gases
– going in the atmosphere and poking holes
in the ozone, it’s being captured and we’re
cleaning it up and running trash trucks on it,”

Ramsey said. “You’re running a vehicle down
the road on methane that’s produced from
your trash.”
North Texas may be rooted in the oil
booms of past decades, but innovations in
natural gas fuel the region’s future.
