Clean Energy and Covanta open first CNG fueling station

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. and Covanta Energy Corporation hosted opening ceremonies in Newark, N.J. for the first compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station built as part of a nationwide partnership between the two companies to expand the CNG fueling infrastructure across the country.

The new station, built and maintained by Clean Energy onsite at Covanta’s energy-from-waste facility located in Newark, N.J., will supply CNG fuel to refuse trucks serving communities and businesses in Northern New Jersey and New York City.

Shale gas boom is increasing CNG conversion

Once primarily the province of under-capitalized independent producers who refined horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology to tap into the once-marginal tight gas reservoirs in Appalachia, the Central U.S. and Western Canada, the massive reserve has now sparked attention from the major industry players.

ExxonMobil, through its acquisition of XTO Energy in 2010, other supermajors, and a host of gas-short Asian players have since taken positions in the U.S. and Canadian shale gas play, with total capital commitments exceeding $100 billion.
