Exhibit 10.19

AMENDMENT

DECEMBER 21, 2004

        THIS AMENDMENT, effective this 3rd day of March, 2005, is made and entered into by and between Williams Gas Processing Company ("Williams") and Clean Energy Fuels Corp. ("Clean Energy").

RECITALS:

    A.
    Williams and Clean Energy are parties to that certain LNG Sales Agreement dated May 23, 2003 ("LNG Agreement") which covers the sale of Liquefied Natural Gas ("LNG") to Clean Energy at Williams' Ignacio, Colorado plant.

    B.
    Williams and Clean Energy desire to amend the LNG Agreement by adding provisions to increase the level of firm LNG sales to Clean Energy. Williams shall install new LNG storage facilities at the Ignacio plant in order to meet this firm commitment. The terms and conditions contained in this amendment take precedence over those contained in prior agreements and amendments between Williams and Clean Energy.

    C.
    This amendment is premised on Williams' ability to acquire a certain used 35,000 gallon storage tank from CHI Engineering Services, Inc. If Williams fails to acquire this tank by March 1, 2005, then this amendment and the storage expansion project shall be terminated.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT:

    1.
    The following sections in Article I, FEES, shall be changed in the LNG Agreement as follows:

    a.
    Section 1.2, Liquefication Fee, shall be deleted in its entirety and will be replaced with the following:

        1.2 Liquefication Fee. Clean Energy shall pay Williams a Liquefication Fee of [***]. By the first Business Day of each Month Clean Energy shall prepay the Liquefication Fee in the amount of [***].

      b.
      Section 1.3, Conditioning Fee, shall be deleted in its entirety.
    2.
    Article II, SERVICE OBLIGATIONS, shall be deleted in its entirety and will be replaced with the following:

      Article II, SERVICE OBLIGATIONS.

      2.1 Firm Service. Williams and Clean Energy have agreed to Firm Service. Williams will be obligated to sell to Clean Energy and Clean Energy shall be obligated to purchase from Williams the minimum number of Loads agreed to in Section 2.2 for the term of this LNG Agreement.

[***]
Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

      2.2 Volume Commitment. Williams will make available and Clean Energy shall purchase a minimum quantity of LNG of [***] ("Volume Commitment") for three hundred and fifty (350) days per year for the term of this LNG Agreement.

      2.3 Extra Loads. On a best efforts basis, if Clean Energy requests additional LNG loads and Williams produces additional LNG Loads and makes them available in excess of the Volume Commitment ("Extra Loads"), then Clean Energy shall purchase the Extra Loads at the Liquefication Fee and Commodity Fee.

      2.4 Volume Commitment Reduction. If Clean Energy requests Extra Loads during any twenty four hour period, then for the following twenty four hour period, Williams shall have the right to reduce the Volume Commitment by the Extra Loads from the preceding twenty four hour period.

      2.5 Negative Ethane Margin. In the event a Negative Ethane Margin exists and Williams decides not to recover ethane for its own account at the Ignacio Plant, Williams shall give Clean Energy twenty-four (24) hours notice that Williams will produce the Volume Commitment that meets the Ethane Rejection Quality specification for the next day ("Ethane Rejection Option").

        A.
        If Williams exercises the Ethane Rejection Option and Williams supplies LNG to Clean Energy, the Liquefication Fee shall be reduced by the Third Party Fee. The total value of the Third Party Cost that Williams reimburses to Clean Energy under this provision shall not be more than [***] ("Negative Ethane Margin Cap") during a Contract year. Should Williams continue to provide ethane rejection quality NGL to Clean Energy after the Negative Margin Cap has been meet, no reimbursement of Third Party Fees will be required of Williams.

        B.
        If Williams exercises the Ethane Rejection Option, but can not meet the Ethane Rejection Quality specification and Clean Energy obtains a Third Party Volume, then Williams shall reimburse to Clean Energy the Liquefaction Fee prepaid for unavailable volumes, plus pay the Third Party Fee for unavailable volumes. The reimbursement shall be calculated for each month that Williams' exercises the Ethane Rejection Option as the sum of the products of the Third Party Volume multiplied by the Third Party Fee and of the Third Party Volume multiplied by the Liquefication Fee ("Total Reimbursement"). The subsequent month's prepayment shall be decreased by the previous month's Total Reimbursement. Williams shall not be required to reimburse Clean Energy more than the ("Negative Ethane Margin Cap") during a Contract Year. The three hundred and fifty day Volume Commitment shall be reduced by one day for each day the Ethane Rejection Option is exercised and Clean Energy obtains a Third Party Volume.

        C.
        If Williams exercises the Ethane Rejection Option and reimbursements have been made by Williams that have met [or perhaps "that equal"] the Negative Ethane Margin Cap, Clean Energy shall have the right to request Williams to supply Ethane Recovery Quality LNG to Clean Energy at the Liquefication Fee provided that Clean Energy pays Williams the value of the Negative Ethane Margin.

      2.6 Unplanned Outage. If Williams is unable to give Clean Energy seventy two hours notice for an LNG Ignacio plant outage ("Unplanned Outage") and the Unplanned Outage prevents Clean Energy from loading the Volume Commitment described in Section 2.2, then Williams and Clean Energy agree to equally split the additional cost incurred by Clean Energy to re-dispatch trucks to other third party LNG facilities. Williams' share of the cost per re-dispatched truck shall be [***].
