Clean Energy Fuels Corp., based in Newport Beach, California, announced June 16 it has been awarded two contracts to design and install liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply systems for power generation in Puerto Rico.
One agreement, with P.R. Energy Partners, calls for designing and building an LNG supply station to fuel a six-megawatt cogeneration plant serving a residential and hotel complex. The second, with an unnamed global healthcare products supplier, will equip an LNG station to back up the company's pharmaceutical manufacturing operations on the island.
"In P.R. Energy Partners we are committed to providing our clients with clean and reliable energy, as well as contributing to the development of a more solid and stable electrical grid for Puerto Rico," said Eduardo M. Cortes, managing partner of P.R. Energy Partners.
"These two agreements mark a milestone for Clean Energy, as they allow us to expand our LNG infrastructure offering to new clients in Puerto Rico," said Sean Columbia, general manager of CE Technologies at Clean Energy. "That they have chosen us as trusted partners and specialists in natural gas and LNG supply systems confirms our expansion in the energy sector."
Combined, the projects will deliver 10 megawatts of installed capacity. They represent Clean Energy's first LNG infrastructure projects in Puerto Rico.
LNG produces fewer emissions than diesel or fuel oil, the company said.
