Changing the Way America Moves

We're transforming transportation with American natural gas. The low-cost, low-carbon alternative. Chesapeake Energy Corporation's $150 million partnership with Clean Energy Fuels Corp. will help create a Natural Gas Highway system across America. It will lower transportation fuel costs dramatically and transform a trucking industry that remains an indispensible conduit of our nation's commerce.

Chesapeake's investment will underwrite approximately 150 LNG (liquefied natural gas) fueling stations, increasing by more than tenfold the number of publicly accessible stations and providing heavy-duty trucks ready access to cleaner and more affordable American natural gas along major interstate highways.

Currently priced significantly less than diesel or gasoline, American natural gas produces up to 30% lower greenhouse gas emissions in light-duty vehicles and 23% lower emissions in medium to heavy-duty vehicles. According to EPA data, replacing just 10% of diesel engines used in heavy-duty transportation with clean-burning natural gas engines could cut nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) by as much as 200,000 tons per year, reducing air pollution and helping protect public health.

Clean Energy is the largest provider of natural gas fuel for transportation in North America and a global leader in the expanding natural gas vehicle market. Together, we're doing the work to save American consumers an estimated $1.50 – $2.00 a gallon on conventional gasoline and diesel.

Our country deserves a cleaner, more affordable fuel – made by and for Americans.

Perils of Foreign Oil
Of all the oil used for transportation, 38% is used by fleet vehicles – heavy-duty trucks, buses, municipal and utility vehicles.

We Can Change This
If, over the next decade, trucking companies large and small replaced their diesel vehicles with trucks running on either compressed or liquefied Natural Gas (CNG/LNG), we would very nearly meet our goal of cutting foreign oil imports by 30%.
