Clean Energy, LA County Open Expanded RNG Station in Carson
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. has opened an expanded renewable natural gas (RNG) fueling station in Carson, California.
The station, designed, constructed, and operated by Clean Energy, is owned by Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (Districts). It will serve both the public and Districts' vehicles, as well as local public transit buses, waste haulers, and medium to heavy-duty trucks.
Located at 23924 S. Figueroa Street, the station dispenses RNG produced from wastewater and organic waste processed at the Districts’ A.K. Warren Water Resource Facility. The remainder of the fuel will be 100 percent RNG supplied by Clean Energy via utility pipelines. Clean Energy will manage the station’s operations and maintenance for the next 10 years.
The expanded station aligns with the Districts’ ongoing efforts to turn waste into resources and transition its fleet to cleaner, low-carbon fuels. It’s expected to sell the equivalent of one million gallons of gasoline annually as more commercial and passenger vehicles switch to ultraclean RNG.
“This fueling station expansion comes at a pivotal time as demand for RNG continues to grow and fleets seek convenient access for fueling,” said Chad Lindholm, SVP of sales at Clean Energy. “By increasing new locations for fueling with RNG, we help fleets in the region cut emissions, improve air quality, and offer a proven alternative fuel.”
“The Districts were early adopters in using biogas to fuel vehicles and generate power,” said Mark Revilla, Head of Districts’ Solid Waste Management Department. “We are excited to have an expanded facility and proud to support clean fuel vehicle use. Clean Energy has been a good partner on this project.”
The Districts received a grant from CalRecycle to help offset part of the construction costs. The project is part of the Districts' Food Waste Recycling Program, which helps protect the environment and generates multiple beneficial products.
