Clean Energy announced on Thursday a series of new agreements with customers across the country expanding their use of renewable natural gas (RNG), while the company also grew its customer base for bulk LNG.
Under the bulk LNG fueling agreement with Astrobotic, Clean Energy will provide 100,000 gallons of LNG to support Astrobotic’s operations as it continues to advance its spacecraft systems.
Moreover, Stoke Space, a company specializing in reusable rockets, has entered into a new agreement with Clean Energy for the supply of 120,000 gallons of high-purity LNG.
The fuel will be used for rocket engine testing which often requires consistent, high-purity methane for accurate and effective testing.
Apollo Energy Resources, a power generation company, has also signed a new bulk LNG fueling agreement with Clean Energy for 480,000 gallons to support the transportation of materials critical to advanced energy solutions.
Clean Energy owns and operates two LNG plants in California and Texas which supply bulk LNG to a variety of customers from marine to energy exploration to space companies.
Last year, the firm completed construction of a third production train at its LNG plant in Boron, California, boosting the plant’s capacity by 50 percent.
According to Clean Energy, the largest plant of its kind in the Southwest US has a capacity of up to 270,000 gallons of LNG per day.
The facility also features one 1.8 million-gallon LNG storage tank.
Besides the Boron LNG plant, Clean Energy also owns the plant in Willis, Texas.
This plant has the capacity to produce 84,000 gallons of LNG per day, and it features a one-million-gallon storage tank.
