California-based Clean Energy Fuels Corp. has been contracted by Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) Airport to supply Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) for the airport’s vehicle fleet. The contract calls for Clean Energy to provide the airport with its Redeem™ brand of RNG, the first renewable and commercially available vehicle fuel made entirely from 100% organic waste.
The use of RNG has the potential to reduce DFW fleet emissions by approximately 70%.
In addition to the fueling agreement, Clean Energy and DFW extended the current operations and maintenance agreement for the airport’s public natural gas fueling stations. The contract stations dispense approximately 2 million gasoline gallon equivalents (GGEs) each year.
“We continue to see strong interest in our Redeem RNG product,” said Tyler Henn, vice president and general manager of Clean Energy Renewables. “Businesses and municipalities are learning that by fueling with RNG you not only get a cleaner fuel but you get a fuel that is domestically produced and more economical.”
Carbon-Neutral Airport
DFW is the only airport in the United States to be certified as Carbon Neutral and the largest airport in the world with that distinction. It will become the first airport outside of California to use Redeem™ RNG.
“DFW has a strong commitment to sustainability, and we will continue to look for innovative ways to reduce our emissions, while improving the customer experience,” said Robert Horton, DFW’s Vice President of Environmental Affairs. “Using RNG for our fleet of vehicles will help us reduce our carbon footprint and our operating costs. It makes good business sense.”
Clean Energy, the leading provider of natural gas fuel for transportation in North America, conducted the design, build, operations and maintenance for the airport’s first natural gas fueling station in 2000 and was selected to build and operate the second station in 2011. The company believes its Redeem™ RNG fuel is the cleanest transportation fuel commercially available, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 70%.
