April 23, 2026. Clean Energy Fuels Corp. announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Clay Corbus as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Corbus also joins Clean Energy’s board as he succeeds Andrew Littlefair, Clean Energy’s co-founder and CEO who has been at the helm of the company for 30 years. Littlefair will transition from his executive role to serve the company as a non-employee government relations consultant. He will continue to serve on Clean Energy’s Board of Directors.
“The Board is pleased to appoint an executive of Clay’s caliber to lead Clean Energy as President and CEO. His diverse experience both within and outside of Clean Energy, especially his ability to craft strategies for the future, will allow him to bring a fresh approach to the company, with a focus on growth and delivering long-term value,” said Clean Energy Board of Directors Chairman, Stephen Scully. “On behalf of the board, I want to recognize Andrew’s vision to start a company that has had such a positive impact on the country. He has played a big role in advancing the overall alternative fuels industry and leading Clean Energy’s growth over three decades.”
Corbus brings 19 years of experience at Clean Energy to the new role, having held several senior executive positions including leading the development of the company’s corporate strategy, overseeing all M&A activities and capital-raising initiatives, and most recently managed Clean Energy’s growing RNG production and distribution businesses. Previously, Corbus was Co-CEO of the investment bank WR Hambrecht + Co.
“I’m honored to step into the role of CEO and am grateful to the board for its confidence in me,” said Clay Corbus. “I especially want to thank Andrew for his leadership and for building such a strong foundation. I’m excited to tap into the strong existing leadership bench at Clean Energy to formulate a plan for the company’s future and work with the entire talented, hardworking team as we continue to grow our renewable natural gas platform, serve our fleet customers, and take the company to the next level.”
“Co-founding Clean Energy with Boone Pickens and leading it through decades of growth has been a great privilege. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built and I’m confident we have the right leader in Clay to advance the company during this exciting period of the heavy-duty transportation market’s transition to alternative fuels. He has my full support,” said Andrew Littlefair.
