Did you know renewable natural gas can also become hydrogen?
In order to rapidly address climate change, we’re going to need multiple solutions. While renewable natural gas (RNG) does wonders as a fuel, it can also be used as a feedstock for hydrogen. Because RNG is the only source capable of achieving a negative carbon-intensity (CI) rating, it’s currently the only pathway to producing negative-CI hydrogen. As a major producer of RNG in North America, Clean Energy is well-positioned to provide a renewable feedstock for hydrogen production.
Our comprehensive services include the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of hydrogen stations, along with supplying hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen, like RNG, can be stored in either liquified or compressed form, and with nearly 30 years of expertise in both gaseous fuels and cryogenics, we’re uniquely qualified to handle both.
Another route for transit.
Transit agencies are often the first to test new clean fueling solutions, well before other transportation sectors. Today, some transit fleets are exploring hydrogen because the benefits include:
Similar Range to RNG
Fast Fueling
Grant Funding Opportunities
Far Less Power than BEVs
Case study: Foothill Transit
For 20 years, Clean Energy has partnered with Foothill Transit, an environmentally-friendly bus service in Southern California that serves over 12 million customers. Foothill Transit currently runs over 300 of their buses with renewable natural gas (RNG) at two stations built by Clean Energy.
In 2021, Foothill Transit awarded Clean Energy a contract to design, construct, and maintain their first hydrogen station in Pomona, CA, and supply liquid-hydrogen fuel that is partially produced with RNG. Operations began in June 2023, fueling 33 hydrogen fuel cell buses, with more expected in the future.
In a recent performance test, Foothill Transit successfully refueled 18 fuel cell buses back-to-back in a 90-minute timeframe, demonstrating that hydrogen refueling can match the speed and efficiency of other fuels.
