压缩天然气（CNG）使用各种组织的快速采用导致在Nopetro莱昂县的加油设施使用的指数增长，远远超过今年一期望的结果。天然气燃料的基础设施供应商，总部设在佛罗里达州，Nopetro，预计胶100,000加仑在最初的一年。相反设施提供了一个估计有40万加仑的CNG燃料，以满足其日益增长的客户需求。

Nopetro开始经营CNG工厂在2012年8月被授予机会压缩天然气燃料莱昂县公立学校巴士的结果。该公司兴建的设施在他们的牺牲部分的第一，其独一无二的公共/私人合作伙伴关系，是他们中标的起源。其他县和学区也纷纷效仿，最近被授予Nopetro两个奥西奥拉县和夏洛特县公立学校区与其他CNG加气站项目。

来自各种渠道，包括额外的巴士和废弃车辆，从市，县，与私营公司利用CNG汽车，如WastePro和马鞍小河物流，以及个人消费者使用CNG汽车的合同需求的迅速崛起，如本田Civic GX 150和福特。

“使用CNG汽车的原因是什么引人注目的短，”公司总裁豪尔赫·埃雷拉说。“我们已经降低了莱昂县学校的船队由$ 1.50/gallon，比传统的汽油或柴油节省40％的燃料成本。加CNG汽车更清洁，更安静，更环保。“

改用天然气将大幅削减温室气体排放，包括89％的颗粒物，一氧化碳70％，二氧化碳25％和80％氧化亚氮。

埃雷拉“柴油车辆切换到CNG汽车的政府或商业船队今天不仅将经历重大的储蓄，补充说：”“待更严格的环保标准的中型和重型车辆，他们将领先的曲线。”

使用了美国的天然气储量，Nopetro建设跨州的CNG加气站网络。

Rapid adoption of compressed natural gas (CNG) usage by various organizations has led to an exponential increase in use at Nopetro’s Leon County-based fueling facility, with results far exceeding year-one expectations. Nopetro, a natural gas fueling infrastructure provider based in Florida, anticipated dispensing 100,000 gallons during the initial year.  Instead the facility provided an estimated 400,000 gallons of CNG fuel to serve the needs of its growing clientele.

Nopetro began operating the CNG facility in August 2012 as a result of being awarded the opportunity to fuel Leon County Public School buses with compressed natural gas.  The company constructed the facility at their expense as part of a first-of-its-kind public/private partnership that was the genesis of their winning bid. Other counties and school districts are following suit, with Nopetro recently being awarded two other CNG fueling station projects with Osceola County and the Charlotte County Public School district.

The rapid rise in demand came from a variety of avenues, including additional buses and waste vehicles from the city and county, contracts with private companies who utilize CNG vehicles such as WastePro and Saddle Creek Logistics, as well as consumer usage from individuals with CNG automobiles, such as the Honda Civic GX and Ford 150.

“The reasons for use of CNG vehicles are nothing short of compelling,” says company CEO Jorge Herrera.  “We have reduced fuel costs for Leon County School’s fleet by $1.50/gallon, a 40% savings over traditional gasoline or diesel.  Plus CNG vehicles are much cleaner, quieter and environmentally friendly.”

The switch to natural gas will cut emissions drastically, including particulate matter by 89 percent, carbon monoxide by 70 percent, carbon dioxide by 25 percent and nitrous oxide by 80 percent.

“A government or commercial fleet that switches from diesel vehicles to CNG vehicles today will not only experience significant savings,” adds Herrera, “they will be ahead of the curve on impending tougher environmental standards for medium and heavy-duty vehicles.”

Using the natural gas reserves of the U.S., Nopetro is building a network of CNG fueling stations across the state.
