CNG Fuels to open UK's first high pressure CNG filling station

Heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) will soon be able to fill up close to junction 28 on the M6 in Lancashire as CNG Fuels has secured planning permission for the UK's largest CNG filling station which should be open in late 2015. According to CNG Fuels, the new station will be the first high pressure connected, public-access CNG filling station in the UK, capable of refuelling five hundred plus HGVs per day, or as much as 3,500 kg of CNG per hour.

Heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) will soon be able to fill up close to junction 28 on the M6 in Lancashire as CNG Fuels has secured planning permission for the UK's largest CNG filling station which should be open in late 2015.

According to CNG Fuels, the new station will be the first high pressure connected, public-access CNG filling station in the UK, capable of refuelling five hundred plus HGVs per day, or as much as 3,500 kg of CNG per hour. CNG dispensed from local transmission system (LTS) connected stations is the lowest cost fuel available to HGVs, as well as having the lowest well-to-wheel emissions of any fossil-based HGV fuel.

The filling station can also supply 100 per cent renewable biomethane (Bio-CNG). It is situated close to junction 28 on the M6 and will be an important part of the UK's rapidly growing CNG refuelling infrastructure. The station's first major customer will be Waitrose, part of John Lewis Partnership.
