will also include facility modifications to accommodate the conversion of
JTA's buses from diesel to CNG. Clean Energy also reported 5,510 additional
natural gas vehicles began fueling throughout Clean Energy's nationwide

Jacksonville Transportation Authority Awards Clean Energy
Transit Multi-year $8.1 Million Station Design, Construction and
Fueling Deal
* To support JTA's fleet conversion to cleaner-burning
natural gas buses, Clean Energy will design, build and
maintain a CNG station to support JTA's conversion of 100
buses from diesel to CNG. Construction is scheduled to be
completed in late 2015.
* Once fully-deployed, this fleet is forecasted to consume
approximately 1 million DGEs of CNG annually which
represents a greenhouse gas reduction of approximately
2,318 metric tons.
* JTA anticipates saving approximately $5.7 million over the
life of the agreement by switching to natural gas fuel.
* The facility located at 100 N Myrtle Ave, Jacksonville, FL,
will be publicly accessible for local fleets.

tapped to retrofit JTA's two maintenance facilities to
accommodate the new CNG fleet.
“The CNG fueling facility is a “win-win-win” for the Authority
and the Jacksonville community,” said JTA Chief Executive
Officer Nathaniel P. Ford Sr. “We will reduce costs, improve
the environment and create opportunities for other fleets to
reap the benefits of CNG.”

Network Highlights of Clean Energy's Infrastructure Development in 2014
* Clean Energy will expand the network of stations that it
owns, operates or supplies to over 535 in 42 states in
2014. Clean Energy will have constructed more CNG
fast-fill, CNG time-fill, LNG and CNG/LNG stations than any
other company in the country. These include:
* 69 stations that were constructed and completed during
the year, including 18 projects where additional
compression capacity was added due to increased
demand.
* A net increase of 74 stations were opened, 25 of which
can accommodate heavy-duty trucks.
* The City of Kansas City, MO, opened its public natural gas
station on Dec. 15, 2014 located at 5300 Municipal Ave., to
fuel its fleet of more than 265 light-, medium-, and
heavy-duty NGVs with the expectation that this NGV fleet
will grow to more than 400. As previously-announced, this
fleet is forecasted to consume approximately 1 million GGEs
of CNG annually.
* Since Clean Energy's investment in NG Advantage to bring
the benefits of natural gas fuel to large industrial and
institutional energy users beyond the nation's natural gas
pipeline, more than 1.5 million GGEs of CNG have been
supplied to NG Advantage customers. By switching from fuel
oil to natural gas, NG Advantage customers have reduced
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions by approximately 3,621
metric tons while reducing fuel costs by nearly 40 percent.
NG Advantage continues to add customers such as New
England-based Hard Drives LLC which is the 7^th aggregate
materials/paving customer to make the switch to natural
gas.
Natural gas fuel costs up to $1.00 less per gallon than gasoline or diesel,
depending on local market conditions. The use of natural gas fuel not only
reduces operating costs for vehicles, but also reduces greenhouse gas
emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles and 23% in medium to heavy-duty
vehicles. In addition, nearly all natural gas consumed in North America is
produced domestically.
