Clean Energy unveils new renewable gas station in Ohio for fleets

The new Groveport site is the first of 19 under agreement with Amazon to power their fleet trucks as well as other companies’ vehicles.

Clean Energy Fuels celebrated a ribbon cutting ceremony to open its new renewable natural gas (RNG) station in Groveport, Ohio. The sustainable fuel produced from organic waste will power Amazon trucks as well as providing public access to the fuel for local fleets.

This new site is the first construction project completed in an agreement between the energy company and the online retail giant. Next stations should be operational by the end of the year, supplementing Clean Energy’s fueling network of 550 stations in North America.

“Large fleets fueling with RNG have the ability to realize immediate and significant carbon reduction, especially in the heavy-duty truck sector which could be many years away from meaningful electrification,” said Andrew J. Littlefair, president and CEO, Clean Energy.

By dispensing 700,000 gallons of RNG annually instead of diesel, the Groveport station will reduce carbon emissions by 6,848 metric tons. In addition, the facility covers 6.7 acres and includes multiple fast-fill dispensers for easy in-and-out fueling of RNG, time-fill posts for up to 52 trucks and 52 parking places for drivers’ personal vehicles.
