Clean Energy CNG Station Locations: How to Find a Station
The Short Answer
Clean Energy is a natural gas fuel provider that operates a network of fueling stations serving vehicles that run on compressed natural gas (CNG), along with other natural gas fuels. Station locations change as sites open, close or alter their access rules, so the most reliable way to find a current Clean Energy CNG station is the company's own station locator, available through its website and mobile app. This guide cannot list specific stations: no confirmed addresses, station counts, hours or prices were available when it was written.
CNG is natural gas stored at high pressure in on-board tanks. It is a different fuel from liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is chilled to a liquid, and from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG, or propane). A CNG vehicle can only refuel at a CNG dispenser, so it matters that the station you find actually offers CNG and not only LNG.
How to Find Stations
Clean Energy's station locator: the primary source for the company's own sites, typically showing fuel types offered and access details. The US Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center station locator: an independent, government-maintained database of alternative fueling stations that can be filtered by fuel type, including CNG, and used to cross-check what a company locator shows. Route-planning or navigation apps that list alternative fuel stations: useful for convenience, but data may lag behind the operator's own listings.
What to Confirm Before You Drive There
A pin on a map is not a guarantee that you can fill up. Natural gas stations vary in ways that affect whether they suit a given vehicle, so check these details in the locator or with the station before relying on it.
Public or private access: some natural gas stations serve the public, while others are restricted to specific fleets or customers. Fuel type: confirm the site dispenses CNG, not only LNG. Vehicle access: some stations are laid out for heavy trucks and buses, which can affect access for smaller vehicles, or the reverse. Dispensing pressure: CNG tanks are rated for a specific fill pressure, and the dispenser and nozzle must be compatible with your vehicle's system. Your owner's manual or the tank label states the rating. Payment: accepted payment can differ by site; some stations may require a fleet fuel card rather than a standard credit or debit card. Hours and status: confirm opening hours and whether the station is currently operational, since outages or maintenance closures can occur.
Gaps in This Guide
No verified data was available on the number of Clean Energy CNG stations, their specific locations, fuel prices, opening hours or contact details. Those details should come directly from Clean Energy's locator or from the station itself at the time of travel. For long trips in a CNG vehicle, planning fuel stops in advance is worthwhile because natural gas stations are far less common than gasoline or diesel stations, and coverage can be sparse between metropolitan areas.
