The new station is part of Nopetro’s planned regional network that will make CNG a workable cost-saving option for government and commercial fleets as well as individual NGV owners. According to Putman, when Nopetro’s network of stations in major cities across the state is completed the private fleets of heavy freight vehicles that move Florida’s consumer goods will have a practical way to traverse the state and region fueled by CNG. “This will produce tremendous cost savings, which will benefit consumers and the area’s economy,” he added.
Nopetro, which had broken ground on this fueling station earlier this year, has already identified 18 additional cities it is targeting over the next three years, including Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Fort Pierce, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Key Largo, Miami, Ocala, Orlando, Pensacola, Sarasota, St. Augustine, Tampa and West Palm Beach in Florida, and Atlanta, Macon and Savannah in Georgia.
“This is truly a day worth celebrating – a big step forward in the journey toward independence from expensive foreign fuels,” said Jorge Herrera, co-founder and CEO of Nopetro. “We are proud to be leading the way of hard work producing results both here in Tallahassee and across Florida and the Southeast.”
