Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. is a leading provider of clean fuel solutions for the transportation sector, specializing in the production and distribution of natural gas and renewable natural gas (RNG). Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Newport Beach, California, the company develops, owns and operates fueling stations across North America. Through its proprietary Redeem™ brand of RNG, Clean Energy aims to lower carbon emissions for its customers by converting organic waste from landfills and dairy farms into vehicle fuel.

The company’s core offerings include compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) and hydrogen fuels, as well as turnkey station design, construction and maintenance services. Clean Energy’s infrastructure portfolio comprises hundreds of fueling locations serving on-site fleets, public transit agencies and private trucking companies. It also provides ongoing technical support and fuel management systems to help customers optimize operations and reduce fuel costs.

Clean Energy’s RNG production facilities source biogas from agricultural, landfill and wastewater treatment projects. By upgrading raw biogas into pipeline-quality RNG, the company delivers a drop-in fuel that can power heavy-duty trucks, transit buses and refuse vehicles with a lower carbon intensity than conventional diesel. These projects not only supply fuel but also help dairy and waste-management partners mitigate methane emissions, aligning with broader environmental and sustainability goals.

Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy continues to expand its fueling network and ramp up RNG production capacity. The company collaborates with major fleet operators, municipalities and strategic partners to accelerate adoption of alternative fuels. As governments and industries seek to meet stringent emissions standards, Clean Energy remains focused on scaling its low-carbon fuel infrastructure and advancing renewable solutions across North America.
