A California-based energy company clenched a 10-year deal with the city of Austin to design, build, and maintain a natural gas fueling station adjacent to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) announced the agreement this morning, though it earlier reported intentions to construct the $1 million project.

Officials in previous interviews with the Austin Business Journal said the plan was instigated to support growing natural gas-powered fleets of airport parking shuttles and courtesy vehicles. Clean Energy in April signed a contract with The Parking Spot shuttle company to transition its Austin vehicles to natural gas.

The company, who’s board includes industry tycoon T. Boone Pickens, operates more than 20 airport-based pumps nationwide including in Dallas and Houston.

The 17,000-square-foot facility will operate 24 hours a day and be open to the public. Construction will begin February 2010, according to the release
