Ken Kelley is simply a towering figure in the natural gas business.
In his 23 years as CEO of Jack B. Kelley Inc. (JBK)—among America’s first and largest transporters of natural gas—Ken grew the Amarillo-based company an average of 19% annually.
Ken’s passion for cleaner-burning alternative fuels came from the loss of his father to a cancer believed to be brought on by the inhalation of diesel fumes. That passion resulted in the founding of Applied LNG Technologies LLC (ALT), where Ken pioneered the development of natural gas infrastructure that today enables countless companies and individuals to utilize a clean-burning, domestically produced fuel in compliance with EPA emission standards. His development of the Interstate Clean Transportation Corridor—making alternative fuels attainable from Las Vegas and Los Angeles to Salt Lake City and the San Joaquin Valley—is among the most successful projects of its kind on the planet.
Since growing and selling ALT, which continues today as Applied Natural Gas Fuels, Ken has shifted his focus to providing a complete system solution for monetizing flared or stranded gas. His work in this area spans areas as unique as the Caribbean, as well as South and Central America.
A cum laud graduate of Texas Christian University, Ken’s best-in-class experience and leadership in the natural gas industry provides support to every CCR project and client.
