CNG Fuels begun construction of Scotland’s first public-access renewable biomethane HGV refuelling station.

The station at Eurocentral near Glasgow will refuel up to 450 trucks a day when it opens in November making Aberdeen and Inverness within reach of biomethane-fuelled truck operators across England and Wales. The new site will enable more companies to switch to the fuel and help lower their annual emissions which will be benefitted by CNG Fuels dispensing fully carbon neutral fuel next year through biomethane from manure.

Philip Fjeld, CEO of CNG Fuels, said: “Fleet operators keen to cut carbon and save money are switching to biomethane in droves, and our first station in Scotland will play a vital part in our network, allowing gas trucks to make deliveries throughout Britain. Biomethane can play a key role in helping the country meet its net zero targets and it is fitting that the station will open just as Glasgow hosts the UN Climate Summit.”

CNG Fuels currently operates six refuelling stations in England and is expanding its network with Eurocentral being the first of 14 new stations due to be built over the next two years.
