Clean Energy Fuels Corp. has been awarded an 18-month contract extension to continue supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel to Sun Metro, the public transit bus agency serving the City of El Paso, Texas and neighboring New Mexico communities. Clean Energy has been under contract to Sun Metro since December 2003, with fleet fuel consumption now topping 4.6 million LNG gallons annually.
The LNG fuel is used directly to fuel certain buses, and converted to compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel to power the balance of the Sun Metro natural gas fleet, which includes 144 natural gas buses. The agency plans to expand the fleet to 227 natural gas buses within 10 years.
Kevin Bunce, Sun Metro Assistant Director, said, “El Paso has significant air shed issues caused by adjacent cities and chooses to fuel with natural gas to mitigate those issues and improve air quality.”
