Shell opens 37th LNG station in Germany
Published on: Aug 18, 2023
This new opening joins the opening of Austria and Hungary’s first site this year to provide refueling services for the transportation sector.
Shell has commissioned its 37th liquefied natural gas (LNG) station in Germany, located in Flörsheim, Raunheim, to supply the transport sector near Frankfurt Airport.
The mobility firm has one of the largest LNG networks in the country and the new location marks another milestone for its growing network in Europe. In Austria, the brand opened its first LNG site in April 2023, and another one is already being planned.
This expansion is also progressing in other European countries, with another inaugural station opened in Hungary this year. In France, Belgium and Poland, the company currently operates six LNG stations each.
"With this location, we are closing an important gap in the network for the supply of LNG and, in the future, bio-LNG along the main traffic routes for road haulage," said Sönke Kleymann, Managing Director of euroShell Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG.
Shell has also invested in the construction of a gas liquefaction plant at its Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland, which will produce bio-LNG once operational. The plant is another step in the firm’s road to becoming a net-zero CO2 emissions energy company and makes an important contribution to the decarbonization of heavy-duty transport in Germany.
