CNG Fuels will open the world\u2019s largest public access biomethane refuelling station for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) near Bristol, UK, Bioenergy-news inform.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new station, due to open by the end of the year, will allow fleet operators to run their vehicles on low-carbon fuel, support net-zero plans, and save money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction has begun on the station in Avonmouth, near the M4\/M5 junction, and will serve the busiest freight routes in the UK. It will be capable of refuelling 80 HGVs per hour from 14 high-speed dispensers and joins six existing refuelling stations already operational across the UK, from Inverness in Scotland to Cornwall in South West England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major brands that will use the station in Avonmouth to reduce transport emissions include Warburtons, Farm Foods, Hermes, and regional water utility, Wessex Water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSwitching our HGV fleet from diesel to biomethane will be critical in reaching our transport decarbonisation goals,\u201d said Steven Gray, Warburtons\u2019s national transport manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCNG Fuels\u2019s new low-carbon refuelling station in Avonmouth is perfectly situated for our distribution centres in the region and will extend the range of low-carbon deliveries we can make across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100% of the fuel supplied by CNG Fuels is renewable and sustainable biomethane, approved under the Department for Transport\u2019s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renewable biomethane is the lowest carbon, most cost-effective alternative to diesel for HGVs, said CNG Fuels; it is 35-40% cheaper and cuts greenhouse gas emissions by 85-90%. From 2022, CNG fuels will dispense fully carbon-neutral fuel by sourcing biomethane from manure. The gas is currently sourced from waste feedstocks, such as food waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philip Fjeld, CEO of CNG Fuels, said: \u201cAvonmouth is a key site for CNG Fuels\u2019s expansion across the UK. The site will allow companies to use low-carbon fuel for regular routes between London, the Midlands, South Wales, Cornwall, and Devon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuch a strategically crucial location requires our biggest fuelling station yet. This station will enable even more fleet operators and hauliers to reduce their carbon emissions and save money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HGVs account for 4.2% of UK carbon emissions, so decarbonising the sector is essential to meet the UK\u2019s net-zero goals. Demand for the fuel from fleet operators is already growing at around 100% per annum, said CNG, with the company forecasting that this will continue to accelerate, and that by 2025 around 10% of the UK\u2019s high-mileage HGV fleet will be running on bio-CNG.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
