Oklahoma State University (OSU) has awarded Clean Energy Fuels Corp. a new 15-year contract to construct, operate and supply a new compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station on the OSU campus at Stillwater, OK. The facility will support the University’s accelerating program to replace most of its diesel bus and gasoline-powered fleet vehicles with energy-efficient, environmentally friendly CNG models. “Our goal is to have most of the vehicles designated for campus use equipped to run on CNG,” said OSU President Burns Hargis. “This is a big step in moving OSU forward with its green initiatives. As a premier land-grant university, it is important that we are good stewards of the earth.”

The new Clean Energy OSU CNG station, which will also be open to the public, is expected to open by Fall 2009. It will be equipped with two fast-fill CNG dispensers plus 24 time-fill CNG dispensers to supply fuel for the OSU’s growing CNG campus bus fleet. OSU has announced plans to acquire and deploy 24 new CNG transit buses and 150 CNG fleet vehicles in the next three years, with up to 500 fleet vehicles anticipated within 10 years.
