Nashville International Airport debuts CNG filling station

In keeping with its commitment to advance sustainable practices and environmentally sound initiatives, the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) officially opened its first CNG fueling station at Nashville International Airport (BNA) to fuel all parking lot shuttles and CNG-fueled company vehicles.

Since the first of the year, all 28 parking shuttles at BNA are fueled by CNG, making them clean powered and sustainable. This conversion is anticipated to reduce the airport fleet’s greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 14%. MNAA is currently in the process of transitioning all company vehicles to NGVs as well.

“Sustainability is always a top priority in every project the Airport Authority takes on,” said Rob Wigington, MNAA president and CEO. “We officially transitioned to CNG-fueled shuttles in early January, so from a sustainability perspective, it only made sense that we also open and operate a CNG fueling station for our new fleet. We will continue to look for creative ways to make a positive impact on our environment for generations to come.”

“As a recognized leader in sustainability, the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority has taken yet another bold step in providing green transportation to its customers,” said Mark Riley, regional vice president of Sales at Clean Energy. “We are honored to be a part of this project, and to help the Authority to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions here at the airport by an estimated 846 Metric Tons per year.”
