Clean Energy Is Awarded $3.6 Million MSRC Grant to Help Fund Nine New Natural Gas Fueling Stations in Southern California

Client Companies to Assist Them with Natural Gas Vehicle Procurement

SEAL BEACH, Calif.–(EMWNews)–The Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) and

the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) recently

approved grant awards of $3.6 million to Clean Energy Fuels Corp.

(Nasdaq:CLNE) to help defray the cost of expanding the Southern

California network of natural gas fueling stations with nine new

stations. In addition, SCAQMD announced grant awards totaling $7.7

million to assist a group of Clean Energy’s

customer companies with the purchase of clean-burning natural-gas

powered heavy-duty fleet trucks, full-size buses and taxis.

“These natural gas infrastructure development

and vehicle acquisition awards will result in significant air quality

benefits as harmful emissions are reduced throughout the South Coast Air

Basin,” said Andrew Littlefair, Clean Energy

President and CEO. “The grants to Clean Energy

will help us add nine new LNG and CNG public and private fuel stations

to our existing network, in locations stretching from West Los Angeles,

Fontana, Norwalk and Burbank to the Port of Long Beach and the Ontario

and Palm Springs international airports,” he

said.

As a service to its clients, Clean Energy’s

in-house Grants Department provides assistance with identifying,

applying for and securing grant funding. Over time, Grants Department

efforts have helped secure more than $107 million in funding for Clean

Energy and its customers. Included in the recent grant awards, announced

at the agency’s July 11th board meeting, was

an individual award for $5.1 million to a Clean Energy customer to

assist in the purchase of a new fleet of 100 LNG Class 8 heavy-duty

trucks to transport goods throughout Southern California. This is the

largest single SCAQMD Carl Moyer grant ever awarded.

The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment (Carl Moyer)

Program is funded each year by the State Legislature and is administered

by each local Air Quality Management District in California. The purpose

of the program is to reduce diesel emissions statewide by providing

grants for the incremental cost of cleaner heavy-duty vehicles and

equipment.

Also in this round of funding, awards of grants totaling $2.375 million

were made for use by Clean Energy fleet customers for the procurement

and deployment of CNG-powered full-size airport buses, refuse trucks and

taxis.
