SAN DIEGO — November 12, 2009 — Pearson Fuels, which specializes in bringing alternative fuels to the public, has retained Merrill Marketing/Communications (MMC) to provide social media services for the company. With its first project in San Diego in 2003, Pearson Fuels built a fuel station offering 10 vehicle fuels. It included the first Ethanol station for the state of California and the first Biodiesel, dual pressure natural gas, and propane station in San Diego County. In 2007, Pearson`s cutting-edge approach to alternative fuels enabled them to make an unprecedented agreement with the California Air Resources Board to develop Ethanol (E-85) fueling infrastructure throughout the state. Pearson currently has fuel dispensers in twelve different cities across California. With AE Biofuels, Pearson Fuels was recently awarded a $6.9 Million US Department of Energy Grant to build and supply 55 E-85 fuel stations throughout California.
