landfi lls and wastewater treatment
plants, the company said. More than
that, it enables at least 70 percent reduction
in carbon emissions when displacing
diesel or gasoline, according to
environmental estimates.
“The addition of this station now
makes possible and plausible the transition
of large portions of Hunts Point
fl eet industries to this cleaner, domestically
produced fuel,” Lopez said upon
cutting the ribbon.
Clean Energy also explained that
any trucks fueling cleanly represent
a signifi cant reduction in greenhouse
gas emissions. As a matter of fact, 100
trucks running on the renewable fuel
can lower green house gasses as much
as 9,294 metric tons annually, according
to Clean Energy.
That’s equivalent to planting 237,942
trees, removing 1,961 cars off the road
or recycling 3,331 tons of waste that
would otherwise be sent to a landfi ll.
“Natural Gas trucks, particularly
ones fueled by renewable natural gas,
have a tremendously low carbon footprint,
which is important for communities
disproportionately affected by
diesel emissions,” Lopez continued.
In addition to Hunts Point, Clean
Energy operates four natural gas stations
in New York City, consisting of
stations at LaGuardia and JFK Airports,
and two stations in Brooklyn.

“Sandy did an amazing
job and our public art display
has become the focal point
and the centerpiece of our
new school,” Principal Ira
Shulman said.
“This artwork is emblematic
of our commitment to
art programs that are vitally
important to the students’
learning experience. Art has
the potential to help improve
a student’s memory and concentration
skills as well as
develop decision-making and
critical thinking skills,” the
principal continued on.
The project was commissioned
by NYC School Construction
Authority, which
aims to beautifully schools
around the boroughs.
“New York sets an extraordinary
model that I
hope other school districts in
other states will follow,” Litchfi
