Design & Build Contract Awarded to Clean Energy Fuels : Two More CNG Fuelling Stations for Waste Pro in Florida
Longwood, Florida based waste and recycling firm, Waste Pro has awarded a construction agreement to design and build compressed natural gas (CNG) Stations at its Sanford and Sarasota facilities Florida to Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE)
Waste Pro said that the Sanford CNG Station will accommodate 90 CNG powered service vehicles, while the Sarasota station will be capable of fueling 30 CNG vehicles.
The company added that it is also working with Clean Energy to expand its current CNG Station in Pompano, Florida from a capacity 30 vehicles to 50 vehicles.
This investment contributes to Waste Pro’s goal set in 2012 to transition the majority of the fleet of waste collection trucks from diesel fuel, to cleaner burning CNG.
According to the company the two new CNG stations will increase the total number of CNG stations located throughout its south eastern footprint to a total of seven, with the facilities also located in Florida at Ft. Pierce, Palm Coast, Daytona, Jacksonville, and Pompano.
“This move will dramatically reduce emissions in our operating footprint and potentially provide fueling stations for the cities and counties we serve”, explained John J. Jennings, President and CEO of Waste Pro USA.
Clean Energy currently operates and maintains a majority of Waste Pro’s CNG stations and will be expanding its contract to cover all Waste Pro stations beginning in 2016.
Waste Pro said that it currently serves more than two million residential and commercial customers from over 75 operating locations and maintains more than 230 exclusive municipal contracts and franchises.
