Natural Gas Fueling Station Arrives at Austin Airport

In February, construction will begin on a new natural gas fuel station at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Yesterday, the City of Austin awarded Clean Energy Fuels Corp. from California a $1 million contract to build a 17,000-square- foot facility that will be open to the public 24-hours a day. The fuel station plans to support the growing number of airport and parking courtesy shuttles that run on compressed natural gas (CNG). In April, Clean Energy Fuels signed a contract with The Parking Spot to transition its shuttle buses to a CNG fuel system at all of their 18 locations, including Austin, Dallas and Houston.
