Natural gas is produced in and delivered across North America through pipelines that reach nearly every populated area.

We purchase natural gas from the pipelines, and compress it at our stations to deliver CNG for light- medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, including transit buses, refuse vehicles and trucks for goods movement.

We also purchase natural gas from pipelines and liquefy it as LNG at our production plants or purchase LNG from others and deliver it for other medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as transit buses, refuse trucks, and class-8 trucks for goods movement at ports and in regional markets.
The Clean Energy California LNG Plant in Boron, California, with its 1.8 million gallon storage tank, capable of holding 1.5 million usable gallons, produced and delivered its first loads of liquefied natural gas to customers in November 2008.

An oil-dependent America imports nearly 70% of the petroleum it uses, which results in exporting hundreds of billions of dollars yearly to other countries, some hostile to our interests. Transportation is the largest consumer of petroleum in the United States, accounting for nearly two-thirds of its use. Petroleum products, particularly diesel, pollute heavily. The cost of petroleum rose rapidly during portions of 2008, threatening the United States economy. Ultimately, we all believe it will rise again. Our dependence on petroleum is dangerous and needs to change.

America produces about 85% of the natural gas we use with another 12% coming from Canada — which means only 3% is from outside North America. Our natural gas supplies are domestic, secure and abundant. Natural gas is 80% hydrogen and inherently low in carbon. A heavy-duty truck running on natural gas (CNG or LNG) produces up to six times less NOx emissions and up to 21% fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel and, using biomethane, greenhouse gas reductions can reach approximately 88%. In light-duty natural gas vehicles, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by up to 30% compared to gasoline. And natural gas for transportation costs less than gasoline or diesel, saving money daily for vehicle and fleet owners.
