Jacksonville Transportation Authority Awards Clean Energy $8.1 Million Deal; Additional Fueling Agreements with Clean Energy Announced

Jacksonville Transportation Authority Awards Clean Energy Multi-year $8.1 Million Station Design, Construction and Fueling Deal

• To support JTA’s fleet conversion to cleaner-burning natural gas buses, Clean Energy will design, build and maintain a CNG station to support JTA’s conversion of 100 buses from diesel to CNG.  Construction is scheduled to be completed in late 2015.
• Once fully-deployed, this fleet is forecasted to consume approximately 1 million DGEs of CNG annually which represents a greenhouse gas reduction of approximately 2,318 metric tons.
• JTA anticipates saving approximately $5.7 million over the life of the agreement by switching to natural gas fuel.
• The facility located at 100 N Myrtle Ave, Jacksonville, FL, will be publicly accessible for local fleets.
• Clean Energy’s Facility Modification team has also been tapped to retrofit JTA’s two maintenance facilities to accommodate the new CNG fleet.

“The CNG fueling facility is a “win-win-win” for the Authority and the Jacksonville community,” said JTA Chief Executive Officer Nathaniel P. Ford Sr. “We will reduce costs, improve the environment and create opportunities for other fleets to reap the benefits of CNG.”

Highlights of Clean Energy’s Infrastructure Development in 2014

• Clean Energy will expand the network of stations that it owns, operates or supplies to over 535 in 42 states in 2014. Clean Energy will have constructed more CNG fast-fill, CNG time-fill, LNG and CNG/LNG stations than any other company in the country. These include:
  • 69 stations that were constructed and completed during the year, including 18 projects where additional compression capacity was added due to increased demand.
  • A net increase of 74 stations were opened, 25 of which can accommodate heavy-duty trucks.

• The City of Kansas City, MO, opened its public natural gas station on Dec. 15, 2014 located at 5300 Municipal Ave., to fuel its fleet of more than 265 light-, medium-, and heavy-duty NGVs with the expectation that this NGV fleet will grow to more than 400. As previously-announced, this fleet is forecasted to consume approximately 1 million GGEs of CNG annually.
• Since Clean Energy’s investment in NG Advantage to bring the benefits of natural gas fuel to large industrial and institutional energy users beyond the nation’s natural gas pipeline, more than 1.5 million GGEs of CNG have been supplied to NG Advantage customers.  By switching from fuel oil to natural gas, NG Advantage customers have reduced Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions by approximately 3,621 metric tons while reducing fuel costs by nearly 40 percent. NG Advantage continues to add customers such as New England-based Hard Drives LLC which is the 7^th aggregate materials/paving customer to make the switch to natural gas.

Natural gas fuel costs up to $1.00 less per gallon than gasoline or diesel, depending on local market conditions. The use of natural gas fuel not only reduces operating costs for vehicles, but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles and 23% in medium to heavy-duty vehicles.  In addition, nearly all natural gas consumed in North America is produced domestically.
