Clean Energy’s fuel contract with CleanScapes includes a preferential fuel pricing provision. The new CleanScapes time-fill compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel station, to be designed, built and operated by Clean Energy, will be located south of Seattle’s downtown area.
Starting in April 2009, CleanScapes will deploy the CNG fleet to provide waste collection services to more than 64,000 residential and business customers in the central and northeast sections of Seattle.
Chris Martin, president of CleanScapes, said: Seattle has been a national leader in greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Our Mayor, Greg Nickels, has led the effort to have cities agree to abide by the Kyoto Protocol. During the bidding process we felt it could be to our advantage to propose a CNG fleet.
