Cemex and Clean Energy Fuels Corp. have announced a new fueling agreement to provide ultra-clean renewable natural gas (RNG) to power 39 of Cemex US's ready-mix and cement bulk trucks in Southern California. Cemex's collaboration with Clean Energy is the latest addition to its lower-carbon fuels portfolio for its California fleet.

Forecasted to provide approximately 300,000 gallons of RNG annually, the fleet will utilize Clean Energy's public station network in Southern California to fuel with RNG. RNG is a negative carbon-intensity transportation fuel that substantially lowers greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 300% versus diesel. Alongside the new fueling deal, Clean Energy will commission a private fueling station exclusively for Cemex's growing RNG fleet.

Located in Rialto, CA, the new station will include time-fill dispensers and a dedicated fast-fill dispenser for easy and cost-effective refueling. The construction project is expected to be completed by the end of this year and Cemex trucks will begin fueling on-site soon after. Clean Energy will be supplying RNG to the new private station, as well as operating and maintaining the site upon completion.

Transitioning part of its fleet to RNG is part of Cemex's Future in Action program which focuses on achieving sustainable excellence through climate action, circularity, and natural resource management with the primary objective of becoming a net-zero CO2 company by 2050.
