Overview
Freedom AFI builds and operates turnkey alternative energy infrastructure for high-pressure fuels like CNG and RNG, serving fleets with mobile and fixed fueling solutions. Its SWIFT mobile fueling unit is a 20-foot sea container that houses high‑pressure equipment and can be deployed on-site in about 90 days, delivering fuel through a hub-and-spoke network that uses high-capacity compressors and virtual pipelines. The company differentiates itself with a vertically integrated, turnkey approach from design to maintenance, rapid deployment, and growth through acquisitions (X3CNG, Lancer Energy) backed by Apollo Global Management. Its goal is to make alternative fuels dependable and economically viable for a wide range of fleets, supporting transportation decarbonization and broader RNG/CNG adoption.
