Press Release Details

SEAL BEACH, Calif., Dec 16, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq:CLNE) has been awarded a five-year contract with a five-year option for compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling services by Central Jersey Waste & Recycling Inc. Located in Trenton, New Jersey, the firm provides waste hauling and recycling services for central New Jersey, including the town of Hamilton, which has mandated alternative fuel use.

Central Jersey Waste will finance both a portion of its time-fill fueling station and 20 natural gas trucks through Clean Energy Finance. Clean Energy will design, build, operate and maintain the fueling station.

The waste and recycling firm is the first in New Jersey to convert a portion of its operations to natural gas fuel use.

James Harger, Clean Energy Senior Vice President, said, "We are pleased to provide these services for Central Jersey Waste that will in turn benefit the state of New Jersey by beginning to use cleaner, cheaper natural gas fuel for waste and recycling hauling. Waste hauling companies throughout the country are beginning to adopt natural gas fuel for both environmental and economic reasons. With more than 200,000 refuse trucks on the road nationwide, there is significant opportunity for natural gas vehicles to contribute to the nation's growing energy commitment to reduce the use of foreign oil while helping clean the air."

"What makes Central Jersey Waste and Recycling different is our steadfast commitment to pursuing initiatives that save money for our customers while preserving the environment in New Jersey," said Michael Fiumefreddo, Central Jersey Waste Vice President. "To that end, we are pleased to be working with Clean Energy to convert our fleet of trucks from diesel fuel to clean-burning natural gas. This is an environmental alternative that will reshape the waste and recycling industry in New Jersey and force our competitors to step up and act more responsibly."
