The fleet is expected to deliver approximately 300,000 gallons of RNG per year and will utilize Clean Energy’s network of public stations in Southern California for refueling RNG. RNG is a carbon-negative transportation fuel that significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 300% compared to diesel fuel.

In addition to the new fueling agreement, Clean Energy will launch a private fueling station exclusively for Cemex’s growing RNG fleet. Located in Rialto, Californiathe new station will be equipped with timed filling dispensers and a dedicated quick filling dispenser, enabling easy and economical refueling. Completion of the investment is expected at the end of this year and, among others, Cemex Trucks will soon start refueling on site. Clean Energy will supply RNG to the new privately owned station and will operate and maintain the facility upon completion.

The transition of part of the fleet to RNG is part of the Cemex Future in Action program, which focuses on achieving sustainable excellence through climate action, circularity and natural resource management, with the main goal of becoming a net-zero CO2 emission company by 2050. The company is projected to reduce its fleet’s greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 8,822metric tons of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) per year, which is equivalent to taking 1,981 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles off the road for a year or planting 137,648 trees*.

“As leaders in the building materials industry, we recognize the critical role we play in building a more sustainable future. Using renewable fuels is not just an option, it is a necessity,” he said Francisco Rivera, Regional Cemex in the USA President – Western Region. “What Cemex provides is essential to building communities around the world California and country. By leveraging Clean Energy renewable energy resources, we are accelerating our aggressive sustainability goals, inspiring innovation, supporting resilience and building a legacy of responsible stewardship for future generations.

“Cemex is not only a world-class leader in the building materials industry, but also one of the most advanced in thinking about our sustainable future. This expanded fleet of RNG trucks will help decarbonize the overall operation, as well as reduce emissions associated with idling trucks on site. Cemex’s RNG fuel agreement with Clean Energy is a significant step forward in reducing Cemex’s carbon footprint,” he said Chad LindholmSenior Vice President of Clean Energy.

Clean Energy currently has a network of over 600 gas stations in the area North America and continues to increase this number with purpose-built and strategically located stations for commercial fleets.
