Canadian company awards natural gas contract to Seal Beach’s Clean Energy

Seal Beach, CA (March 4, 2009) —TransLink, the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority, has awarded Clean Energy Fuels Corp of Seal Beach, CA. a new long-term contract to expand and maintain the compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel station that supports TransLink’s current fleet of 60 clean-burning CNG buses.
Located at the agency’s Port Coquitlam Transit Centre, in a suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the Clean Energy-operated, high-volume station will be upgraded and reconfigured to accommodate potential fleet growth of up to 125 buses.
Clean Energy has been under contract to provide CNG fueling services to TransLink since 1998, with total CNG bus fleet consumption now topping 1.2 million US gallons annually. TransLink buses provide 700,000 passenger trips daily on 201 fixed routes in Metro Vancouver’s 695-square-mile service area.
Alberto Cayuela, TransLink’s Project Manager, said, “Our agency is committed to the reduction of emission impacts from the operation of our transit fleet. To meet this goal, TransLink works to surpass applicable emission regulations and standards in the procurement of new fleet vehicles, and seeks continuous improvement in emissions from the existing fleet by retrofitting or replacing existing equipment and using cleaner fuels. Our program ranges from an ongoing commitment to zero-emission electric trolleys and an investment in clean diesel/electric hybrids to our new fleet of CNG-powered coaches.”
James Harger, Clean Energy Senior Vice President, said, “In Vancouver and in every community and region we serve, Clean Energy is committed to helping reduce health-harming emissions and protecting environmental quality. The North American transit industry’s transition from diesel to natural gas power is accelerating in response to the need to curtail emissions, decrease fuel costs, and reduce dependence on imported oil.”
Harger explained that natural gas produces up to 23 percent lower greenhouse gas emissions than diesel fuel in heavy-duty vehicles and is domestically sourced in the U.S. and Canada.
Clean Energy is the leading provider of natural gas (CNG and LNG) for transportation in North America. It has a broad customer base in the refuse, transit, ports, shuttle, taxi, trucking, airport and municipal fleet markets, fueling more than 14,000 vehicles daily at 176 strategic locations across the United States and Canada. Clean Energy owns and operates two LNG production plants, one in Willis, TX and one in Boron, CA, with combined capacity of 260,000 LNG gallons per day and designed to expand to 340,000 LNG gallons per day as demand increases. It also owns and operates a landfill gas facility in Dallas, TX that produces renewable bio-methane gas for delivery in the nation’s gas pipeline network. You can visit at www.cleanenergyfuels.com

Chai

This is one very lucky lady. When Chai was found, she was suffering with a very large abcess as the result of a bite. She spent a while recovering at the vet hospital, but was an absolute love through the whole ordeal. Chai is still waiting for her hair to grow back and is trying to put on a little weight, but she is anxious to find a new home where she can count her blessings and count on being around for many more years.

Emerald

Emerald was abandoned by her family, which left her very upset and confused. It has taken a long time for her to start to get over it, but she is starting to make a lot of progress. We can now pet her and she even purrs a little. We know there is a sweetie deep inside anxious to get out. We would love to find Emerald a new home quickly so she can escape her cocoon and learn to love completely.

Sandra Bullock bought gas for her car last week

By
Wilm

Guess what?  She also bought
healthy groceries, and took her
kids to school.

She also dresses like the rest of
us. Sometimes very nice and
sometimes jeans and a sweater.

We’re not going to show her photo
here. Whether you believe it or not you
would not like to see your picture
in the paper or on the web everyday.

Seal Beach is a friendly little
town and we’re glad she chose to live
here.

Stick around Sandra…we like you.
