Clean Energy Names New COO

CEO looks to new executive to implement “advantages AI has to offer”

Clean Energy Fuels Corp., the Newport Beach-based renewable natural gas provider, announced Tuesday the appointment of Bart Frabotta as chief operating officer. 

Frabotta served with the company for 16 years, previously holding the position of group vice president of operations since 2021.

“Since joining Clean Energy, Bart has been tasked with more and more responsibilities and has always overperformed,” Chief Executive and President Clay Corbus said in a statement. “His leadership has driven meaningful change in reliability, efficiency, and cost structure across our station network. I will look to Bart to take the lead in two of my top priorities – becoming a technology-forward company implementing all the advantages AI has to offer, and making Clean Energy a low-cost company while still accelerating growth.”

The next day, shares of the company fell 2% to $1.70 apiece for a market cap of $371 million (Nasdaq: CLNE).
