What Nopetro Energy does

Nopetro Energy is a privately held, vertically integrated renewable natural gas (RNG) company founded in 2008 by Jorge A. Herrera and Jonathan 'Jack' Locke, headquartered in Miami, Florida. The company develops, owns, and operates the full RNG value chain from landfill gas capture and purification through to fuel marketing, fueling station development, and fleet solutions. Its three core product lines are RNG Production (landfill-gas-to-RNG refineries, e.g., Vero Beach), RNG Fueling Infrastructure (private and public CNG/RNG stations engineered for uptime and geographic coverage), and Nopetro 360, an integrated fleet-as-a-service product that bundles vehicles, fuel, and optional maintenance under a fixed multi-year payment with zero upfront capital.

The company serves primarily government and commercial fleet customers in heavy-duty transportation, including public transit authorities (LYNX), K-12 school districts (Leon County Schools), and county governments (Manatee County, Indian River County). Disclosed project metrics include over 4 million gallons of RNG dispensed annually at the LYNX facility, 3 million gallons of RNG production annually at Vero Beach (displacing 100,000 metric tons of CO2), and over $7 million in annual fuel savings for LYNX and $5 million for Leon County Schools. Nopetro employs 11-50 staff and pursues enterprise field sales to commercial fleets and government entities, with senior executives specialized in RNG Solutions, RNG Development, RNG Operations, Business Development, and Finance.

Nopetro monetizes through multiple recurring streams: long-term RNG supply contracts (subscription-style recurring revenue), fueling station operations (transactional fuel sales), and the Nopetro 360 bundled fleet program (multi-year fixed payments). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, though the Nopetro 360 calculator assumes up to $2/gallon fuel cost reduction with stable pricing for up to 7 years. The company is expanding its Florida-based footprint with new high-throughput fueling sites and additional RNG production projects announced in 2025-2026, and has established strategic partnerships with Johnson Controls and Mead & Hunt to pursue larger waste-to-energy county projects.

Core offering

Nopetro Energy develops, produces, and distributes renewable natural gas (RNG) by capturing biomethane from landfills and organic waste, then upgrading it to pipeline-quality fuel. The company designs, finances, builds, owns, and operates CNG/RNG fueling infrastructure for heavy-duty fleets, and delivers integrated fleet solutions (Nopetro 360) that bundle vehicle access, fuel supply, and optional maintenance into a single contracted payment. Operations span RNG production, gas marketing, fueling infrastructure, and fleet delivery across Florida and the broader U.S.

Product overview

Nopetro Energy is a vertically integrated renewable natural gas company offering a platform of three connected product lines: RNG Production (landfill gas-to-RNG refineries), RNG Fueling Infrastructure (private and public station development and operations), and Nopetro 360 (integrated fleet solutions combining vehicle access, fuel supply, and optional maintenance). The company operates across the entire RNG value chain from waste gas capture to point-of-use delivery, serving commercial transportation and energy-intensive industries.
