Cepsa, Redexis launch their second natural gas in Spain
The opening in Zaragoza is part of the agreement signed in 2019, which foresees the creation of the largest network of LNG/CNG stations in Spain with 80 locations.
Cepsa and Redexis are making progress expanding vehicular natural gas in Spain with the opening of their second refueling station, located in Zaragoza. This inauguration is part of the strategic agreement announced in 2019, by which both companies committed to create the largest network of natural gas stations in Spain.
Redexis has made an investment of nearly one million euros to carry out the construction of this facility, which supplies both CNG for light vehicles and LNG for heavy-duty transport. For both, the refueling time is between 3 and 6 minutes, depending on vehicle type.
The facility is located in Mercazaragoza, the largest agro-food logistics platform in Aragón. This is a strategic location for the transport of goods where between 5,000 and 8,000 heavy vehicles circulate daily. Likewise, Zaragoza is a logistics hub connecting the major cities of Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia), and is an important connection point on road trips to France.
In the first few months of 2021, both companies plan to start up another four gas stations in some of the main national transport corridors; specifically, they will be located at Cepsa service stations in the provinces of Madrid, Cáceres, Cuenca, and Jaén.
In June 2019, Redexis and Cepsa agreed to create the largest network of LNG and CNG refueling stations in Spain. In said agreement, Redexis committed to making an investment of 60 million euros in the 2019-2023 period to undertake the construction and maintenance of 80 natural gas stations located at Cepsa service stations, which Cepsa will be in charge of supplying and marketing.
