July 16, 2023. The City of Pensacola, in Florida (USA), announced that the city’s compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles have now switched to renewable natural gas (RNG), contributing to the city’s overall Renewable Energy Goal.
The change was made possible through an agreement signed by Pensacola Energy to purchase renewable natural gas for use in the city’s vehicles that previously used compressed natural gas. The City of Pensacola has 87 CNG vehicles in its fleet, including garbage trucks, recycling trucks, and Pensacola Energy crew service vehicles.
For 2023, this project moves the City of Pensacola 7.62% closer to its 30% renewable energy by 2030 goal. Next year, this project will represent 15.25% renewable energy usage for the City of Pensacola. Combined with 6.2% received from Florida Power and Light, this advances the city to an estimated 21.45% renewable energy by 2024 – a milestone of two-thirds of the way to the city’s 30% renewable energy goal with six years left to achieve it.
