ReFuels starts construction of Bio-CNG refuelling station between Edinburgh and Glasgow
21 August 2024 - ReFuels N.V., one of Europe's leading suppliers of renewable biomethane (Bio-CNG) for the decarbonisation of heavy goods vehicles (HGV), has broken ground on a new refuelling station at Livingston in West Lothian, Scotland. The public access Bio-CNG station operated under the CNG Fuels brand will enable low-emission transport between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The Livingstone station can refuel 14 trucks simultaneously when at full utilisation, enabling more than 600 trucks to be refuelled per day with a total capacity of 20 million kilograms (kg) of Bio-CNG annually. CNG Fuels also operates Scotland’s first public access renewable biomethane HGV refuelling station, off the M8 near Bellshill, which opened in 2021.
“The Livingston station is next door to several major distribution centres, including Tesco and DHL. Once operational, it will enable fleet operators and their clients to further decarbonise logistics in Scotland. Bio-CNG is a low-carbon alternative to traditional fossil fuels and more cost-effective than diesel. As ReFuels develops new sites according to our long-term plan, we also unlock additional orders for new Bio-CNG trucks from both new and existing customers,” said Philip Fjeld, CEO of ReFuels.
CNG Fuels’ current UK network of 14 stations in operation can refuel more than 9,500 HGVs daily. This equals an annual dispensing capacity of more than 290 million kg of biomethane and potential savings of more than 800,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year when compared to diesel. The year-end 2026 target of 30-40 stations in build and operation equals a total capacity of up to 23,000 HGVs per day and more than 650 million kg of biomethane annually.
The Livingston station is owned by a joint venture (JV) with Foresight Group. In addition to Livingston, ReFuels has one more station under construction in Doncaster in South Yorkshire, one of the UK's largest logistics hubs.
