San Francisco Taxis to use Pickens’ Natural Gas to Fuel Fleet
Yellow Cab, the largest taxi company in San Francisco has awarded a 10 year contract to Clean Energy Fuels Corp. to supply compressed natural gas (CNG) to its recently expanded natural gas station near the intersection of Cesar Chavez St. and Interstate 280, a few miles south of downtown.
Yellow Cab, which operates 100 natural gas powered taxis, will also be opening this station, located at 1200 Mississippi St., to the public 24/7. The station is equipped to dispense 1,000 gallons of CNG per hour, which would make it the largest CNG taxi station in the U.S.
Clean Energy Fuels Corp., founded by T. Boone Pickens, runs 170 CNG stations in North America. It also operates two liquid natural gas (LNG) production plants, one in Willis, TX and one in Boron, CA, with a currently combined capacity of 260,000 of LNG per day. CEFC also owns and operates a landfill gas facility in Dallas, TX that produces renewable methane gas or biogas.
