卡万塔的埃塞克斯资源回收中心，在那里垃圾车将燃用CNG。

天然气燃料供应商清洁能源燃料公司和卡万塔能源公司，国际可持续的废物管理和可再生能源公司，主持开幕仪式在新泽西州纽瓦克的压缩天然气（CNG）加气站建成一个全国性的合作伙伴关系的一部分两家公司之间展开全国各地的CNG燃料的基础设施。

新站，建立和维护在卡万塔能源从位于新泽西州纽瓦克的废物处理设施，清洁能源现场将提供CNG燃料，垃圾车，北新泽西州和纽约市的社区和企业提供服务。CNG燃料，与卡万塔能源废物处理设施，处理后回收的都市固体废物转化为清洁，可再生能源发电相结合，创建了一个引人注目的经济和环境友好型的垃圾管理模式，两家公司计划到美国各地复制。

高级政府官员，企业高管和社区领袖出席了隆重的开幕仪式，布兰查德在66街在纽瓦克的东沃德发生在卡万塔的埃塞克斯资源回收设施。

纽瓦克市长布克说：“我们的首要任务是制定城市转型的一个目标，包括改善环境质量，城市车队过渡到清洁能源燃料的国家标准”。“为此，我们正在推进一项重大计划，以取代现有的柴油动力垃圾车扫街车队新的清洁操作CNG为燃料的卡车。我们的新车队在这里将推动清洁能源/卡万塔天然气加气站，今天正式开幕。“

“今天，我们庆祝我们的合作伙伴关系，我们希望与卡万塔新泽西州北部地区带来更清洁和更便宜的能源开发的第一站，”安德鲁说，公司总裁兼首席执行官J. Littlefair，清洁能源。“此次合作有望使更多的车队和全国各地的客户充分利用天然气的经济效益，同时减少他们的碳足迹在社区，一个真正的共赢。”

卡万塔能源公司总裁兼首席执行官安东尼·奥兰多，评论说，“卡万塔自豪地清洁能源和新泽西州在安装新的加油站在我们的废物转化能源设施的清洁城市联盟的合作伙伴。CNG在回收后转换成清洁电力的浪费，对我们的工作是完美的补充。这种新的CNG加气站建设必要的基础设施，以支持过渡到现代化的垃圾车车队将提供我们所服务的社区的经济和环境效益的推动下，天然气和过渡的一个重要步骤。“

这种清洁能源和卡万塔CNG加气站项目部分资金由美国能源部能源联邦刺激格兰特通过新泽西州的清洁城市联盟，一个非盈利性组织，致力于教育公众对环境的好处切换驱动的车辆替代燃料。

Natural gas fuel provider Clean Energy Fuels Corp. and Covanta Energy Corporation, an international sustainable waste management and renewable energy company, have hosted opening ceremonies in Newark, N.J. for the first compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station built as part of a nationwide partnership between the two companies to expand the CNG fueling infrastructure across the country.

The new station, built and maintained by Clean Energy onsite at Covanta’s energy-from-waste facility located in Newark, N.J., will supply CNG fuel to refuse trucks serving communities and businesses in Northern New Jersey and New York City.  CNG fueling, combined with Covanta’s energy-from-waste facility, which processes post-recycled municipal solid waste into clean, renewable electricity, creates a compelling economic and environmentally-friendly refuse management model the two companies plan to replicate across the United States.

Senior government officials, business executives and community leaders attended the grand opening ceremonies, which took place at the Covanta Essex Resource Recovery Facility at 66 Blanchard Street in Newark’s East Ward.

“Our overriding mission is to set a national standard for urban transformation—a goal that includes improving environmental quality through transitioning to clean energy fuels for city vehicle fleets,” said Newark Mayor Booker.  “To this end, we are moving forward with a major program to replace our existing fleet of diesel-powered garbage trucks and street sweepers with new cleaner-operating CNG-fueled trucks. Our new fleet will fuel up here at the Clean Energy/Covanta natural gas fueling station that officially opens today.”

“Today we celebrate the first station developed by our partnership with Covanta that we expect to bring cleaner and cheaper energy to the Northern New Jersey area,” said Andrew J. Littlefair, president and CEO, Clean Energy. “This partnership is expected to enable more fleets and customers around the country to take advantage of the economic benefits of natural gas while reducing their carbon footprint in the community—a true win-win.”

Anthony Orlando, president and CEO, Covanta Energy, commented, “Covanta is proud to partner with Clean Energy and the New Jersey Clean Cities Coalition in the installation of the new fueling station at our Energy-from-Waste Facility. CNG is the perfect complement to our work in converting post-recycled waste into clean electricity. This new CNG station is an important step in building out necessary infrastructure to support the transition to modern fleets of garbage trucks fueled by natural gas and that transition will provide economic and environmental benefits to the communities we serve.”

This Clean Energy and Covanta CNG fueling station project is partially funded by a U.S. Department of Energy Federal Stimulus Grant through the New Jersey Clean Cities Coalition, a non-profit organization that works to educate the public about the environmental benefits of switching to vehicles powered by alternative fuels.
