Nopetro Energy expands leadership team to accelerate RNG growth

Nopetro Energy, a Miami-based developer and operator of renewable natural gas (RNG) projects, has named Russ Boullion as vice president of commercial development in its RNG solutions division.

In this role, Boullion will help expand Nopetro’s footprint in the heavy-duty trucking sector and build new partnerships with both public- and private-sector fleet operators.

Boullion will work closely with the company's executive vice president of RNG solutions, Scott Brinner, to expand the company's commercial reach and support its network of RNG fueling stations and production plants. He also will help grow Nopetro’s N360 offering, which provides customers with a truck, lifetime service, maintenance and fuel, often at a fixed price per gallon.

The company says Boullion’s focus will include building relationships with trucking companies, private fleet owners, waste companies, municipal transportation departments and local governments. He also will identify opportunities to strengthen fuel logistics and support station development amid rising demand and emerging technologies, such as the Cummins X15N natural gas engine.

“Russ is joining us at a pivotal moment,” Nopetro CEO Jorge Herrera says. “His experience will help us bring the benefits of RNG to fleets across the country, providing a cleaner, high-performing, American-made fuel option, while his ability to build strong relationships will accelerate connections with fleets, municipalities and partners. His proven leadership and fresh perspective will strengthen existing partnerships and open new opportunities for growth.”

Boullion brings experience in trucking, logistics, transportation management, supply chain management and industrial and commercial development. He joins Nopetro with a background in leading commercial operations for the chemical logistics sector, including serving as commercial director for Delta Chemical, a PSC Group company.

He also served in several leadership roles at Quantix, formerly A&R Logistics, including vice president of packaging and warehouse, where he led development of the export packaging business, and vice president of corporate marketing, where he led a companywide rebrand.

Boullion previously held logistics leadership roles at Westlake Chemical in all modes of transportation and logistics. He holds an MBA from the University of St. Thomas in Houston and a bachelor’s degree in finance from Sam Houston State University.
