Location for new UK bio-LNG refuelling station chosen

UK biofuel supplier Gasrec has announced that its next bio-liquefied natural gas (bio-LNG) refuelling station will be built at Avonmouth, near Bristol.

The station will be built on land adjacent to three motorways and be capable of refuelling up to 700 vehicles a day.

‘This represents a further step toward our goal of developing a national bio-LNG refuelling network,’ says Gasrec commercial development manager Doug Leaf. ‘We will have fuel available at Avonmouth from October.’ 

Gasrec is Europe’s largest supplier of bio-LNG and liquid biomethane (LBM), which is a natural, green source of renewable energy produced from organic matter such as household food waste. It claims, when substituted for diesel, bio-LNG can cut fuel costs and CO² emissions by up to 35%, while delivering a 90% reduction particulate matter emissions and a 60% reduction in NO_x.
