News for 'EBOF' - (ALT renews LNG supply contract with Long Beach)
May 26, 2008 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Earth Biofuels has announced that its subsidiary, Applied LNG Technologies, has renewed its contract to provide the City of Long Beach, California, with liquefied natural gas.
The City of Long Beach utilizes liquefied natural gas (LNG) as transportation fuel for its municipal fleet of approximately 200 natural gas-powered vehicles. The city uses approximately 10,000 gallons of LNG per week.
The cty's commitment to alternative fuels and sustainable practices via ALT has reportedly resulted in a 25% decrease in fuel cost for LNG vehicles.
The city maintains an LNG fleet of 70 vehicles ranging from sweepers, dump trucks and asphalt patch trucks. In addition, Long Beach's LNG units have contributed to a 15% to 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over equivalent diesel engines.
Erik Sund, purchasing agent for the City of Long Beach, said: "ALT has provided LNG to Long Beach since 2003 and this contract renewal ensures that our city will continue to utilize clean burning, domestically produced fuel for our fleet vehicles."
