Biomethane fuelling station lands in London
The first compressed biomethane (CBM) re-fuelling facility in London, UK, has been set up to support a trial of a CBM-powered street cleansing vehicle. Following the launch earlier this year of a commercial trial of the vehicle in the London Borough of Camden Council, the group has now announced that the re-fuelling facility is ready.
Gasrec, the UK's first producer of liquid biomethane fuel, was supported by logistics partner Hardstaff Group, to set up the facility for the vehicle operated by Veolia Environmental Services, the UK's largest waste management group.
'This step makes concrete the infrastructure for our trial and also lays the foundations for possible further collaboration with Camden Council,' Richard Lilleystone, CEO at Gasrec, says. 'In doing so, it helps underscore the potential for further commercial fleets.'
The CBM is produced from landfill gas and has the lowest carbon intensity of all commercially available biofuels, emitting 70% less than fossil fuels.
