For fleet owners, that doesn’t just mean environmental impact but significant financial gain. Switching to RNG fleets reduces fuel costs substantially and allows companies to use existing natural gas infrastructure with minimal disruption to business. At Nopetro Energy, we’re helping make the transition happen by providing RNG solutions to help commercial fleets: ·??????Lower fuel costs and long-term savings ●?????Reduce big carbon intensity ●?????Seamlessly use existing natural gas infrastructure ●?????Support corporate ESG goals with economically sound decision-making That's why fleets across North America are switching to RNG -- improving their bottom line and the planet. https://lnkd.in/erufxThW #FleetManagement #RNG #CNG #Trucking #NopetroEnergy #Cummins15LCNG

Public-private partnerships (P3s) are key to renewable energy adoption. As the world's urgent need for energy grows, P3s have become the key to accelerating the transition to pragmatic renewable energy. These partnerships bring together the strengths of the public sector – regulatory frameworks and large project funding demands – with the agility and innovation of the private sector to deploy infrastructure faster. We have seen firsthand at Nopetro Energy how partnering with government agencies can develop renewable natural gas (RNG) projects. For over a decade, through our P3s, we have designed, financed, and operated 100% RNG sourced ?CNG fueling stations for essential service providers like transit agencies, refuse companies, and school districts.?? The key benefits of P3s in renewable energy include: ●?????Additional, previously untapped, revenue streams for municipalities ●?????Long-term energy for essential services and industries ●?????100% finance, construction, and operational risk transfer to the private sector ●?????Faster deployment of utility grid hardening infrastructure ●?????Reduced carbon and community resilience Recent data shows the potential of these partnerships. Municipal landfills and wastewater treatment plants account for more than 75% of the feedstock used in renewable natural gas production. However, only a fraction of these facilities currently capture biogas for energy use, suggesting significant untapped opportunities for P3s to expand RNG production. In fact, Deloitte estimated recently that renewable natural gas from waste could replace up to 4.4% of current U.S. fossil gas demand, demonstrating the immense potential of scaling these partnerships. By continuing to foster these partnerships, we can make the renewable energy transition more achievable, affordable, and beneficial for everyone involved. https://lnkd.in/eiYQVqjD https://lnkd.in/e8kMB8hz #PublicPrivatePartnership #PPP #NaturalGas #Sustainability #RNG #NopetroEnergy
