Nopetro LLC opened a compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel station on Sept. 25, part of a planned regional network that will allow area fleets to convert to CNG, according to a release from the company.
The facility, located on Leon County Schools property, is the product of a partnership between the public and private sectors. The school district is transforming its entire fleet of diesel-powered school buses to CNG, and other public and private consumers may also fuel their CNG vehicles at the station. A portion of each sale will benefit the school district.
