In the United States (US), Clean Energy Fuels Corporation (Clean Energy Fuels), one of the largest providers of fossil gas and renewable natural gas (RNG) for the transportation market has announced that it has been awarded two separate contracts to design and install liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuelling systems for gas-to-power applications in Puerto Rico.
The projects signed with P.R. Energy Partners and an undisclosed global healthcare supplier will provide energy security and resiliency to both companies.
Under the agreement with the healthcare products supplier, Clean Energy Fuels will provide LNG station equipment and installation to support its local pharmaceutical manufacturing operations.
The company has committed to ensuring energy reliability for its operations in Puerto Rico, choosing natural gas and an LNG station as its dependable energy source for its operations.
Clean Energy Fuels has also entered into a separate agreement with P.R. Energy Partners, a Puerto Rican end-to-end energy solutions distributor and infrastructure developer.
For this project, Clean Energy will design and build an LNG supply station that will fuel a 6 MW combined heat and power (CHP) plant supporting a luxury residential and hotel operation in Puerto Rico.
P.R. Energy Partners is committed to providing our customers with clean, reliable power as well as contributing to a more robust and stable energy grid for our island of Puerto Rico, said Eduardo M. Cortes, Managing Partner at P.R. Energy Partners.
A first for Clean Energy Fuels
These agreements mark Clean Energy Fuel’s first LNG supply infrastructure deals in Puerto Rico, together fueling 10 MW of total installed power.
By delivering modular LNG fueling infrastructure, Clean Energy Fuels enables customers to transition to more dependable energy systems and can deliver both primary and backup power across diverse applications, including manufacturing facilities, hospitals, data centers, port operations during LNG marine bunkering, industrial zones, and power generation sites in grid-constrained markets.
LNG is a cleaner-burning fuel that helps reduce emissions compared to traditional fossil energy sources like diesel or fuel oil.
By switching to LNG, companies can support better local air quality while maintaining reliable, efficient power for their operations, and seamlessly switch to bioLNG once it becomes available.
