USA: Chevron, Clean Energy Fuels expand RNG commitment in California

Chevron is investing an additional $20 million in the Adopt-a-Port initiative with Clean Energy Fuels to expand RNG supply for truck operators in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Chevron Corporation announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Chevron U.S.A. is investing an additional $20 million in the Adopt-a-Port initiative with California renewable natural gas (RNG) provider Clean Energy Fuels Corp.

Chevron has now invested a total of $28 million in the initiative, which provides truck operators – large fleets and owner-operators – serving the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach with cleaner, carbon-negative RNG refuelling options.

In addition to providing funding for Adopt-a-Port, Chevron supplies RNG to Clean Energy stations near the ports. Chevron’s funding will allow truck operators to subsidize the cost of buying new or converting to RNG-powered trucks. Clean Energy, meanwhile, will manage the program, including offering fueling services for qualified truck operators.

Truck operators participating in the program, which supports the ports’ Clean Trucks Program and Clean Air Action Plan, agree to fuel up at the Clean Energy stations supplied with Chevron RNG.
