“ The Livingston station can refuel 14 trucks simultaneously when at full utilization. That enables more than 600 trucks to be refueled per day, with a total annual capacity of 20 million kilograms of Bio-CNG.
“ There are 15 additional Public Access BioCNG Refueling stations in operation to date. Our other locations include Warrington, Avonmouth, Bellshill, Leyland, Erdington, Birmingham, Northampton, Crewe, Newark, Knowsley, Liverpool, Castleford, Newton-Aycliffe, Corby, Bangor, Aylesford, and Doncaster.
“ The current main user of the Livingston Station is Tesco, however other users include Aldi, Menzies, Lidl, Evri, and Staples Vegetables. We expect many more companies to start utilizing the site in the future, especially as renewable fuel alternatives continue to rise in popularity.”
Biomethane has a range of advantages over traditional fuels, as Peter affirms.“ Not only can customers save 30 to 40 percent
in lifetime fuel cost, but they can reduce carbon emissions by up to 90 percent. This is a huge benefit for companies looking to reduce their environmental impact, as adopting biomethane fuel also comes with an accredited certification from the Department for Transport, allowing customers to claim these emissions reductions on respective corporate accounts.
“ In addition, our extensive and evergrowing infrastructure makes it easier than ever to refuel with sustainable fuel alternatives. Increased accessibility also means safe and clean refueling. Our stations are user-friendly and don’ t require any protective equipment to use. Finally, our fuel ensures a 50 percent noise reduction on all vehicles, leaving drivers less fatigued post-shift.”
