Company Overview

Clean Energy Fuels Corp., founded in 1997 and headquartered in Newport Beach, California, is a leading provider of natural gas and renewable natural gas (RNG) fuel for the transportation sector. The company operates a network of more than 500 fueling stations across the United States and Canada, supplying compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) and RNG derived from organic waste streams. Clean Energy serves a diverse customer base that includes commercial trucking fleets, public transit agencies, refuse haulers and municipal vehicle operators.

In addition to fuel supply, Clean Energy offers turnkey station design, construction and ongoing maintenance services, as well as fueling hardware and project management. Through partnerships with dairies, landfills and wastewater treatment facilities, the company captures methane emissions and converts them into its “Redeem” RNG product, which is certified to achieve significant carbon intensity reductions. This integrated approach enables customers to lower their greenhouse gas footprint while maintaining operational efficiency and cost competitiveness.

Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy has broadened its portfolio to explore hydrogen fueling and other low-carbon alternatives. The company has executed high-profile infrastructure projects in key markets such as California, Texas and the Northeast, leveraging regulatory incentives and sustainability mandates to accelerate fleet conversions. Its strategic collaborations with clean-vehicle manufacturers and technology providers support end-to-end deployment of natural gas and renewable fuel solutions.

Committed to advancing cleaner transportation, Clean Energy continues to invest in distribution infrastructure and supply-chain development. By scaling RNG production, enhancing station accessibility and forging new commercial partnerships, the company aims to drive adoption of low-emission fuels and support the transition toward a more sustainable North American fleet landscape.
