ReFuels N.V has broken ground on a new Bio-CNG 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 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,” said Philip Fjeld, CEO of ReFuels.
CNG Fuels’ current UK network of 14 stations in operation can refuel more than 9,500 HGVs daily. 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.
