RENEWABLE biomethane for transport supplier CNG Fuels has opened its tenth low-carbon HGV refuelling station in Castleford, reflecting the number of bio-CNG powered trucks on the road doubling in the last year alone.
The new station means that CNG Fuels can now refuel 5,000 HGVs across the UK daily, saving up to 1,600 tonnes of CO2 every day, or 584,000 tonnes of CO2 annually when compared to diesel.
Last year, the UK government set out plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel HGVs from 2040, heightening the urgency for fleets across the country to find alternative solutions to petrol and diesel HGVs.
Renewable biomethane, derived from food waste and manure is the lowest carbon, most cost-effective alternative fuel to diesel available to HGVs today, cutting emissions by over 90% whilst providing up to a 40% lifetime fuel cost saving, claims CNG Fuels.
The new station in Castleford can refuel up to 500 HGVs per day and most of the UK is already within a 300-mile round trip of a CNG Fuels renewable biomethane refuelling station.
The site will put Leeds, Hull, and Wakefield within range, from its location in the Normanton Industrial Estate.
