Shares of Clean Energy Fuels Corp. established a new 52-week high after the company reported it is teaming up with Chevron on its Adopt-a-Port renewable natural gas initiative to reduce emissions.
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (CLNE:NASDAQ), which supplies compressed, liquefied and renewable natural gas for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, yesterday announced that it is partnering with Chevron Corp. (CVX:NYSE) on its Adopt-a-Port initiative. The firms stated that “the Adopt-a-Port program provides truck operators serving the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach with cleaner, carbon-negative renewable natural gas (RNG) to reduce emissions.”
As part of the Adopt-a-Port program, Chevron will be responsible for providing funding to subsidize truck operators to cover the cost of buying new RNG-powered trucks and supplying RNG to Clean Energy stations located near the ports. Clean Energy is charged with offering fueling services to qualified truck operators and managing the program.
The companies claimed that the initiative will serve to eliminate climate pollutants and will result in the reduction of smog-forming NOx emissions by 98% compared to diesel trucks.
