Refueling Infrastructure has allowed a large number of UK companies to make the switch from running their HGVs on diesel, to a renewable and sustainable fuel.
“ We now have just over 2100 trucks refueling through our infrastructure daily, which is made up of over 180 individual companies. In 2024, we saved our customers a total of 216,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions – a truly staggering annual decarbonization figure for the industry.”
From cutting costs to protecting the planet, biomethane fuel is quickly becoming the preferred alternative for future-thinking fleet operators. As Peter asserts:“ When it comes to emissions savings, from a well-towheel basis, biomethane offers the most practical and cost-efficient way of achieving significant and impactful CO 2 reductions for the HGV sector. The CO 2 equivalent savings are generally in the region of 80-90 percent, in comparison to a diesel truck of equal size.
“ Biomethane is also one of the only fuels that can achieve a net-negative emissions saving, meaning it has the potential to go beyond Net-Zero as a fuel – something we are working on for the future.”
As CNG continues to dominate the UK’ s renewable fuel sector, Peter considers what’ s to come:“ We are currently executing on a business plan that would see us double our Bio-CNG vehicle refueling capacity by the end of 2028. This will enable us to refuel up to 20,000 trucks with Bio-CNG daily.
“ Looking further ahead, our target is to refuel ten percent of the UK’ s articulated truck fleet with 100 percent sustainable and renewable biomethane by the end of 2030. If we are successful in achieving this, we could help our customers reduce GHG emissions by more than 1.2 million tons per annum,” he concludes. ■
