Asda invests in new Bio-LNG refueling stations

Two new locations have been established alongside Gasrec in Warrington and Dartford adding up to a total network of 13 stations.

Asda is investing in two new Bio-LNG (liquefied natural gas) refueling facilities, as the retailer continues to make progress towards reducing overall carbon emissions.

Working closely with Gasrec, the new refueling facilities in Warrington and Dartford have expanded the chain’s network to thirteen fully operational Bio-LNG stations across the UK. With over 780 vehicles, Asda operates one of the largest fleets of LNG fuelled trucks in the UK.

“Our continued investment in a UK-wide LNG distribution network forms an essential part of our objective to reduce overall carbon emissions across our operations, and towards building a sustainable business for the future,”said John Rogerson, Central Fleet Operations Manager at Asda.

Through the new infrastructure, the retailer will continue its efforts to decarbonise its operations, aiming to achieve net zero operations by 2040.

This investment comes after the company recently launched a new sustainability-linked enhancement to its Supply Chain Finance scheme in partnership with HSBC UK. Launching in January 2025, the facility will see Asda use financial incentives to encourage better sustainability practices within its supply chain.
