A new compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling center is slated for Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to fuel 46 rental car shuttle buses at the international airport. DFW announced Monday that it had awarded a 10-year contract to Seal Beach, CA-based Clean Energy Fuels Corp. to supply the CNG, something it already does at DFW. The final contract is in process of completion. The new Clean Energy Rental Car Center CNG station is slated to open in May, providing 24/7 fueling services to CNG vehicles operating at the airport and in surrounding communities. When the fleet is fully deployed, it is anticipated that the station will dispense more than 500,000 gallons per year. In a related action, DFW also awarded an extension of Clean Energy’s existing contract to maintain and supply the airport’s existing on-site CNG station until June 2020. The station fuels the airport’s terminal buses and operations fleets. It also fuels private fleets, including door-to-door shuttle vans and taxi cabs that were recently granted front-of-the-line privileges for using CNG. The station dispenses more than two million gallons annually. James Harger, Clean Energy Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President, said, “The new rental car center station contract, along with the airport’s decision to extend the term of our current fueling services agreement, grows our ongoing partnership with DFW, where we have been providing natural gas services since 2001.
