Germany: Bilfinger, Greeen Solutions to expand Alternoil’s LNG filling network for trucks
The framework agreement covers engineering, assembly and services for the establishment of filling stations for LNG-powered trucks.
Bilfinger and Greeen Solutions have signed a framework agreement covering engineering, assembly and services for LNG filling stations. The goal is to establish a comprehensive filling station network for trucks powered by LNG.
Bilfinger EMS will serve as technology partner of Greeen Solutions for the design, construction and maintenance of the LNG filling stations. The Cloppenburg-based company will contribute its engineering expertise to approval planning for future LNG filling station locations and will also co-ordinate other technical services for plant function, plant safety and conformity with German laws and standards.
The first LNG filling stations ordered by Greeen Solutions from Bilfinger EMS will be installed before the end of this year at locations in Germany, in Bremen, Melle, Cologne, Greding and Ettenheim. The filling stations will be operated by Alternoil GmbH, on whose behalf Greeen Solutions is acting as project developer.
In October 2019, Alternoil opened what was at the time the largest LNG filling station in Europe in the city of Bakum, Germany. This year, 10 additional LNG filling stations are already under construction or in the approval phase. Alternoil is using the existing infrastructure, enabling service station operators to supply LNG at their current locations. For fleet operators looking to switch to LNG trucks, Alternoil is also providing LNG directly at their sites.
