Clean Energy Distributes A Renewable Natural Gas Vehicle Fuel

It's called Redeem and it's made from waste streams, like landfills. It's 90% cleaner than diesel fuel. "Redeem is the lowest carbon footprint fuel commercially available and the only affordable renewable fuel for heavy duty trucks."

It's made by capturing methane from landfills or farms. That's cleaned up and becomes "biomethane" which is distributed via the natural gas pipelines that already exist. The cost at the pump can be a dollar or more cheaper than diesel. Currently it's sold at the same price as natural gas.

Clean Energy has a biomethane production facility in Dallas that can produce 60,000 gasoline-gallons-equivalent per day. They have another facility in Canton, Michigan, and are building one in Millington, Tennessee. Each of those will be able to produce 20,000 GGEs per day of biomethane.
