ReFuels first quarter 2024: Continued high growth and expanding station network
31 August 2023: ReFuels N.V. (ticker: REFL) ("ReFuels"), one of Europe's leading suppliers of renewable biomethane (Bio-CNG) for the decarbonisation of heavy goods vehicles, today releases its interim report and presentation for the first quarter 2024.
Key events in the period:
- 10,430 tonnes of renewable Bio-CNG dispensed across CNG Fuels’ operating stations from April to June, corresponding to a year-over-year growth of 74%
- 1,367 heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) used the stations measured as a three-month rolling average, compared to 809 vehicles for the three-month period ending June 2022, a 69% increase.
- 128 unique customer fleets actively refuelling across the network at the end of June 2023 versus 76 at the end of June 2022
- 39.635 million Renewable Transport Fuel Certificates (RTFCs) were generated, a 74% annual increase reflecting 100% of the gas sold being approved as renewable Bio-CNG; RTFC prices affected by dislocations caused by increased biodiesel and feedstock supply from China impacted profitability
- Opening of the 11th and 12th Bio-CNG refuelling stations in June and July, increasing the group’s refuelling capacity for high mileage HGVs to over 6,000 vehicles per day
- Creating a vertically integrated supplier of Bio-CNG through the acquisition of a majority stake in the biomethane sourcing and supply business Renewable Transport Fuel Service (RTFS)
- Acquisition of CNG Fuels’ operated refuelling station in Newark through the CNG Foresight joint venture
- Successful private placement of NOK 53.2 million followed by a listing on Euronext Growth Oslo in May 2023
“This has been a transformational quarter for ReFuels. After the acquisition of Renewable Transport Fuel Service (RTFS) in April 2023, we are one of Europe’s largest vertically integrated suppliers of 100% renewable biomethane, unlocking value throughout the value chain including from certificates. Further, we have opened our 11th Bio-CNG refuelling station, reinforcing our market-leading position in the UK and making it even easier for operators of heavy goods vehicles to transition to a low-carbon future. In May, ReFuels listed on Euronext Growth Oslo to strengthen the platform for financing our roll-out plan of 30-40 stations by end-2026,” said Philip Fjeld, CEO and co-founder of ReFuels.
ReFuels will present its first quarter 2024 results during a webcast at 10:00 CEST today. The presentation will be held by CEO Philip Fjeld and CFO Baden Gowrie-Smith. Please join the webcast via the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/dtkQY4ytN9h
