advances goal of 40 billion BTU daily renewable natural gas production by 2030
Visalia, Ca. March 1, 2023 – Chevron USA Inc. (NYSE: CVX) today announced the opening of its second compressed natural gas (CNG) station in the state of California, increasing the availability of lower-carbon fuels for heavy-duty vehicles. This newest station is a collaboration between Valley Pacific, one of California’s largest fuel marketers, and Chevron.
“Chevron has seen strong demand for our CNG fuel offering from new and existing customers,” said Nuray Elci, Chevron’s General Manager of Renewables. “CNG is a low-carbon fuel for fleets. Chevron is expanding our renewable natural gas (RNG) production that will further reduce carbon intensity. Chevron’s farm-to-fuel offerings will help our customers to achieve their low-carbon goals.”
Chevron plans 30 CNG stations in California by 2025, helping us advance our goal of producing 40 billion BTUs of CNG per day by 2030.
Chevron’s CNG efforts complement the strength of its traditional products business with new offerings that help customers support a lower carbon future. CNG and GNR are essential technologies in this portfolio of solutions.

We have worked with Chevron and their quality fuels for years and we’re proud to now expand that relationship with GNC,” said Nathan Crum, president and CEO of Valley Pacific. “We are planning a grand opening celebration on March 1st and I hope the community will show their support.
