Shell opens its first LNG station in France
The Mionnay location is the first of the 7 LNG filling stations that Shell is planning to build in France by 2023.
Shell continues to expand its European network of gas filling stations with the opening of its first LNG station in France, reports Gaz-Mobilité. The Mionnay location is the first of the 7 LNG filling stations that the company is planning to build on French soil by 2023 in the framework of the European Commission's CEF programme.
Mionnay LNG station has been built as an annex to an existing Shell location along the A46 motorway that connects Givors and Anse. The site covers an area of 4,000 m² and includes 2 pumps and 3 tracks. Open to all LNG vehicles on the market, it will be accessible via the Shell LNG card.
As part of the European Commission's CEF programme, Shell has committed to building at least 39 LNG stations in Europe by 2023 - including the 7 locations in France. The Anglo-Dutch company intends to go further and build over 100 LNG stations by 2026.
Shell’s current European LNG filling station network comprises 20 sites, with 7 locations in The Netherlands, 6 in Belgium, 5 in Germany, 1 in Spain, and 1 in Turkey.
