Nopetro partners with Lynx to build CNG fueling station in Florida

Nopetro Energy has extended its decade partnership with Lynx, the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority, and will build a new compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station in Kissimmee, Florida.

The Miami-based company says the new station will deliver CNG made 100 percent from renewable natural gas (RNG). The expanded fueling capacity will allow Lynx to scale service efficiently delivering reliable transportation to thousands of riders each day. 

“Public transit agencies need fueling infrastructure that keeps pace with their growth,” Nopetro CEO Jorge Herrera says. “This new station strengthens Lynx’s ability to operate a modern, lower emission fleet while managing costs and maintaining reliable service.” 

Nopetro says it expects to complete construction by Aug. 31 with operations beginning shortly after. The site will be located at 100 N. Alaska Ave. and will feature two fueling lanes with two dispensers.

The Kissimmee station will further strengthen Lynx’s CNG infrastructure, enhancing reliability and improve operational efficiency. According to Nopetro, CNG continues to be a practical option for public transit systems because it offers lower, more stable pricing compared to diesel, reduced emissions and reliable performance for high mileage fleets. By expanding fueling infrastructure in Kissimmee, Lynx can support future service growth while maintaining operational efficiency. 

For the past 10 years, Nopetro has helped develop and maintain Lynx’s CNG ecosystem, including infrastructure design and construction, maintenance facility build outs, fleet conversion initiatives and a revenue sharing model that delivers value to both organizations.  

The Kissimmee facility will be the 15th CNG station operated by Nopetro in Florida. The company says it has developed landfill gas to RNG infrastructure across the state, most recently announcing a $50 million investment to develop a facility in Manatee County, which is expected to generate enough energy to power approximately 4,500 homes each year.

Nopetro also operates an RNG facility in Vero Beach, which has been producing affordable, lower emission fuel for buses and trucks and improving local air quality since its opening in the third quarter of 2025.
