- OSU Ranks Natural Gas as Tops Among Alternative Fuel Choices; Will Transition
Much of Campus Bus and Daily Use Vehicle Fleets to Clean, Green CNG Power - 


SEAL BEACH, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Oklahoma State University (OSU) has awarded Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq:
CLNE) a new 15-year contract to construct, operate and supply a new compressed
natural gas (CNG) fueling station on the OSU campus at Stillwater, OK. The
facility will support the University`s accelerating program to replace most of
its diesel bus and gasoline-powered fleet vehicles with energy-efficient,
environmentally friendly CNG models. 

The new Clean Energy OSU CNG station, which will also be open to the public,
will be located on the Southeast corner of Lakeview and Western on the
Stillwater campus. Slated for opening by Fall 2009, the new facility will be
equipped with two fast-fill CNG dispensers plus 24 time-fill CNG dispensers to
supply fuel for the OSU`s growing CNG campus bus fleet. OSU has announced plans
to acquire and deploy 24 new CNG transit buses and 150 CNG fleet vehicles in the
next three years, with up to 500 fleet vehicles anticipated within 10 years. 

"Our goal is to have most of the vehicles designated for campus use equipped to
run on CNG," said OSU President Burns Hargis. "This is a big step in moving OSU
forward with its green initiatives. As a premier land-grant university, it is
important that we are good stewards of the earth." 

OSU has been evaluating alternative fuel options for several years, and has now
opted to focus on CNG for its campus fleets. "Clean Energy is the leader in the
growing CNG arena, and we look forward to working with them on this important
initiative," President Hargis said. 

James Harger, Clean Energy Senior Vice President, said, "We are very grateful
for the confidence that OSU has placed in Clean Energy, and are committed to
fully supporting their efforts to make the CNG fleet transition process an
unqualified success." 

Harger added, "The use of CNG vehicles aligns very well with OSU`s efforts to
ensure climate protection and air quality improvements. CNG has proven to
significantly lower harmful emissions like nitrogen oxides, particulate matter,
toxic pollutants and greenhouse gases."
