ReFuels opens Wales’ first biomethane station
Published on: Nov 17, 2023
This is the 13th bio-CNG station operated by ReFuels in the UK under the CNG Fuels brand.
ReFuels has opened a new bio-CNG refuelling station at Bangor in North Wales. This is the 13th bio-CNG station operated by ReFuels in the UK under the CNG Fuels brand.
ReFuels is one of Europe's leading suppliers of renewable biomethane (Bio-CNG) for the decarbonisation of heavy goods vehicles.
"The station in Wales is an important step in expanding the network of reliable and convenient compressed renewable biomethane refuelling stations. It will open another critical transport route for fleet operators and hauliers of heavy-duty vehicles in the UK for refuelling of a low-carbon fuel. This will also be the very first station for Bio-CNG in Wales,” said Philip Fjeld, CEO and co-founder of ReFuels.
Major fleets will use the station in Bangor to significantly reduce transport emissions.
The station is owned by a joint venture with Foresight Group. It features 12 fuel pump islands, allowing more than 500 trucks to be refuelled per day with a total capacity of 25 million kg of bio-CNG annually.
The current CNG Fuels network in the UK can refuel more than 6,500 HGVs daily. The year-end 2026 target of 30-40 stations in operation equals a total capacity of up to 15,000 HGVs per day and more than 600,000 tonnes of biomethane annually.
The group has one more station under construction in Aylesford in Southeast England and expects two further stations to commence construction during 2024.
