Love’s Alternative Energy opens CNG station in Fresno

Houston, Aug. 7, 2025 – Love's Alternative Energy announces the opening of its new compressed natural gas (CNG) station in Fresno, California. Strategically chosen for its prime highway location in the distribution district, it features six CNG fuel dispensers and is the first location opened under the new Love’s Alternative Energy brand. With the opening, Love’s now has 106 CNG stations in the U.S. and Canada.

“The Fresno station addresses a growing demand for lower carbon fueling options for commercial trucking, refuse and transit fleets in this part of the country as it’s a significant logistics and supply chain hub,” said Ryan Erickson, vice president of Love’s Alternative Energy. “This self-serving fueling facility gives our CNG fleet customers the ability to fuel on their schedule, competitive pricing, easy maneuvering for larger vehicles, and comprehensive reporting on fuel consumption. In addition, the location supports California’s climate goals to target carbon neutrality.”

The unmanned location offers CNG only (no professional driver amenities) and is considered a “cardlock” station meaning customers must have an approved card to make fuel purchases. It is accessible 24/7 for fleets that operate around the clock. The layout is designed for larger commercial vehicles so they can access easily and features high-speed dispensers so drivers can get back on the road quickly. The station's detailed transaction tracking provides fleet managers with comprehensive data on each fueling event, including fuel amount, cost, and specific vehicle and driver details facilitating precise management and efficient resource allocation.

“The Love’s Alternative Energy CNG fueling station is conveniently located off the CA-99 corridor in Fresno which is a premier location for business prosperity for the transportation and trucking industry,” said Will Oliver, president and CEO at the Fresno County Economic Development Corporation. “This station will be successful for the state’s fuel economy and corresponding greenhouse gas emissions standards.”

In honor of the grand opening, Love’s Alternative Energy donated $5,000 to Sunnyside High School and $5,000 to Valley Children’s Hospital, a Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) hospital.
