RNG reduces climate-harming greenhouse gas emissions by at least 70 percent, and even up to 300 percent depending on the source of the RNG, making it a negative carbon fuel.\n\n“Fleets are learning that RNG, together with natural gas engine technology, is a proven solution that can significantly decrease the impact of harmful emissions and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Chad Lindholm, vice president, Clean Energy Fuels. “Clean Energy’s corporate vision is directly tied to working with our customers to improve air quality and positively influence public health. We will continue to grow the role of RNG in our fuel offerings to provide a clean and cost-effective alternative to diesel fuel.”\n\nNew Fueling Agreements\n\nPac Anchor, a port drayage company that serves the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, has added 23 new trucks to its fleet for an estimated 2.5 million gallons of RNG.\n\n“Here at Pac Anchor, we're committed to finding innovative solutions for lowering our carbon footprint and lessen the impact on the communities we serve,” said Alfredo Barajas, president of Pac Anchor Transportation. “We are firm believers in sustainability: providing the cleanest technology while safeguarding the livelihood of our employees.
