CNG opens HGV biomethane refuelling station in Scotland

London, 17 December (Argus) — UK biomethane supplier CNG Fuels today opened a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) biomethane refuelling station near Glasgow, Scotland.

The station — Scotland's first — is capable of refuelling 450 HGVs per day and will cut 70,000t of CO2 emissions annually, CNG said. The biomethane supplied is from waste feedstocks, approved under the UK's Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation, and generates renewable transport fuel certificates (RTFCs). CNG plans to offer carbon neutral biomethane later this year — derived from manure.

The station will serve Scotland's busiest transport route, as well as several brands already using biomethane across their fleets, such as UK retailer Waitrose and courier firm Hermes.
