Clean Energy Fuels Corp. announced June 16 that it has been awarded two contracts to design and install liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling systems for gas-to-power applications in Puerto Rico.
The projects are with P.R. Energy Partners and a global healthcare supplier. Under the agreement with the healthcare supplier, Clean Energy will provide LNG station equipment and installation to support pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. The company has committed to natural gas as a dependable energy source for its Puerto Rico operations.
With P.R. Energy Partners, Clean Energy will design and build an LNG supply station that will fuel a six-megawatt combined heat and power plant supporting luxury residential and hotel operations.
“P.R. Energy Partners is committed to providing our customers with clean, reliable power as well as contributing to a more robust and stable energy grid for our island of Puerto Rico,” said Eduardo M. Cortes, Managing Partner at P.R. Energy Partners.
“There are several firsts for Clean Energy with these two agreements as we expand our LNG infrastructure offering to a new customer base in Puerto Rico,” said Sean Columbia, General Manager of CE Technologies at Clean Energy. “Being chosen as the trusted partners and experts in natural gas and LNG supply systems is a confirmation of our expansion into different energy services. These projects demonstrate the reliability and scalability of our engineered LNG solutions and will help strengthen energy resilience on the island.”
Together, the two projects will fuel 10 megawatts of total installed power. Clean Energy said the modular LNG fueling infrastructure allows customers to transition to more dependable energy systems for primary and backup power across applications including manufacturing, hospitals, data centers, and port operations.
