Clean Energy Largest provider of vehicular natural gas (CNG & LNG) in North America 100+ million gallons sold during 2009 Full service Design, Build, Operate & Maintain Stations Fuel and Fleet Marketing Vehicle Grants (Awarded over $150 Million) Financing Operating Territory 190+ stations 16 U.S. States 20 Airports Publicly-traded as CLNE on NASDAQ Fuel 17,000+ customer vehicles daily
Why Natural Gas for Transportation? Cheaper Costs average between $0.50- $1.00 less per gallon than gasoline Cleaner Cleanest burning fuel available Reduces GHG emissions by up to 30% and NOx emissions by 85% Domestic 98% domestically produced Gallon per gallon displacement of foreign oil 150 year supply
Economic Considerations – What Percentage of Your Budget is Related to Fuel Costs? According to the US Energy Information Administration the spread between natural gas and petroleum is forecasted to increase in the coming years; fleets using natural gas will have a competitive advantage over those using gasoline. Pricing is based on gasoline gallon equivalent of CNG (inclusive of commodity and compression fee)
