Nopetro Renewables breaks ground on Southern Florida’s first landfill gas RNG facility

In Florida, Nopetro Renewables, a developer and operator of renewable natural gas projects across North America, announced that it broke ground on Southern Florida’s first landfill gas to renewable natural gas (RNG) facility in Indian River County.  

The $40M facility in Vero Beach, named Vero Beach Nopetro Eco District, is estimated to initially produce 3 million gallons of RNG a year and prevent 30,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions, equivalent to eliminating emissions from 4,300 passenger cars, once operational. This project, expected to be completed in early 2025, is the largest investment in Indian River County in the past three years, adding more than 40 local jobs through construction and operation.
