Clean Energy to Build First Private Natural Gas Fueling Station for Houston METRO
Station to fuel up to 120 transit buses with clean CNG which provide over 51 million rides across the city

Under the new agreement, Clean Energy will design and build the new station, upgrade the current site’s bays, and provide operations and maintenance services for the station that is expected to consume 2 million gallons of CNG annually, when it is completed and fully operational.
The new station is set to play a crucial role in METRO’s efforts to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon emissions by helping the agency meet its commitment of running fleet vehicles on zero emissions fuels by 2030. By transitioning to CNG, the transit fleet will be able to achieve a 90 percent reduction in NOx and tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air in areas where the buses operate.

"We are excited to be partnering with the team at METRO on their very first CNG station build," said Chad Lindholm, senior vice president at Clean Energy. "For METRO, growing their CNG-powered fleet and making the switch will truly help shift the dial in reaching their sustainability goals. This deal also demonstrates the confidence the city has in CNG as a cleaner, more efficient fuel to provide essential transport to millions of commuters daily. For Clean Energy, this represents the largest agreement we have won in the last decade, demonstrating the ongoing transition to cleaner-burning natural gas by some of the country’s largest fleets."
The new station will be located at the Hiram Clarke facility in Houston’s southwest. Once completed, it will be able to fuel 120 diesel gallon equivalent (DGEs) in under 12 minutes, a prerequisite of the build to ensure efficient, in-and-out fueling. Construction is expected to begin in early 2025.
