Clean Energy will provide natural gas and vehicle conversions in Virginia

Working with Commonwealth officials, Clean Energy expects to develop a strategic network of CNG sites throughout Virginia, taking advantage of the extensive inter-state highways traversing the Commonwealth. “Through his leadership, Governor McDonnell has put Virginia on a path to a more secure energy future,” said Mark Riley, vice president, Eastern Region for Clean Energy at the signing ceremony in Richmond.

Clean Energy recently unveiled its first natural gas station in Virginia on Maury Street in downtown Richmond and expects to open its second station adjacent to Dulles International Airport. Both public-access stations are open 24/7 and are co-located with Clean Energy’s partner Quarles Fuel Network.

“The infrastructure built through this effort will be available to fuel passenger vehicles and other commercial fleets. Through this innovative public-private partnership we enter today, the Commonwealth, industry leaders and innovators can work collaboratively to move state government and private industry away from vehicles fueled by gasoline and diesel fuel and reduce our dependence on foreign oil,” noted Governor McDonnell.
