Clean Energy Fuels Corp. CLNE
Clean Energy Fuels Corp., a Delaware corporation, is a leading renewable energy company focused on the procurement and distribution of renewable natural gas ("RNG") and conventional natural gas, in the form of compressed natural gas ("CNG") and liquefied natural gas ("LNG"), for the United States ("U.S.") and Canadian transportation markets. RNG, which is delivered as either CNG or LNG, is created by the recovery and processing of naturally occurring, environmentally detrimental waste methane ("biogas") from non-fossil fuel sources—such as dairy and other livestock waste and landfills—for environmentally beneficial use as a replacement for fossil-based transportation fuels at an affordable price. Methane is one of the most potent climate-harming greenhouse gases ("GHG") with a comparative impact on global warming that is about 28 times more powerful than that of carbon dioxide. We are focused on developing, owning, and operating dairy RNG projects and supplying RNG (currently procured from third party sources) to our customers in the heavy and medium-duty commercial transportation sectors. We have participated in the alternative vehicle fuels industry for over 28 years. We believe we are in a unique position because the valuable Environmental Credits (as defined below) are generated by the party that dispenses RNG into vehicle fuel tanks, and we believe we have access to more dispensers than any other market participant.
