The wording on new drayage trucks “makes me feel that you can read that between the lines, unless there is a zero-emissions natural gas truck I’m unaware of,” Weston LaBar, CEO of the Harbor Trucking Association, told Transport Topics.
CARB should be looking at more than just tailpipe emissions as the indicator of which approach is cleaner, and include the whole emissions life cycle from source to end use, he said.
“CARB wants to phase out all internal combustion engines regardless of fuel source,” LaBar added. “For many of our members, the fastest way, the most immediate way to sustainability is with RNG.”
(U.S. Gain/Biomass Magazine) AJR Trucking has partnered with U.S. Gain, a division of U.S. Venture, to build a renewable natural gas (RNG) fueling station in Compton, California, near the port of Long Beach. The station will help AJR Trucking and its sister company, MDB Transportation, produce greater emission reductions for the areas of California that need it most.
“We’re widely known for our use of alternative fuel, specifically natural gas, throughout our operations,” said AJR Trucking’s CEO Jack Khudikyan. “Now, thanks to a partnership with U.S. Gain, we’re able to expand use of clean RNG and fuel at a more convenient location. This new station brings environmental benefits to our fleet and ultimately, our community.”
(Clean Energy Fuels Corp./NGV Journal) Clean Energy Fuels Corp. has opened a new public fueling station in Carson, California, that will provide renewable natural gas to fuel trucks in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and service many Carson-area truck terminals and warehouses.
“This station will allow more vehicles to take advantage of the cleanest fuel available today, especially in a region heavily impacted by emissions from heavy-duty trucks,” said Greg Roche, vice president of sustainability, Clean Energy. “We are pleased to bring more fueling choices to companies that want to reduce their carbon footprint with renewable natural gas and greatly reduce harmful greenhouse gases.”
