Spain: Naturgy opens dual natural gas station in Galicia
The LNG/CNG site, located in the province of Lugo, will serve fleets in Galicia heading for northern Spain, France and Europe.
Naturgy has launched the first public dual gas filling station for liquefied and compressed natural gas (LNG/CNG) in Galicia. The site is located in Vilalba (Lugo), a highly strategic location due to its proximity to the A-8 motorway, the starting point of the Cantabrian corridor, providing the possibility to refuel for fleets in Galicia with destination to the North of Spain and Europe.
The station has a 60 m3 LNG tank, a LNG dispenser and two CNG dispensers, allowing both light and heavy vehicles to be refuelled. The new gas station intends to "fill with private initiative the lack of LNG infrastructures in the Cantabrian corridor, as the A-8 is not included in European transport development projects," according to Naturgy's press release.
The Vilalba refuelling station will support Naturgy's CNG stations in San Cibrao das Viñas (Ourense) and Santiago de Compostela, in addition to its other stations currently under construction in Vigo and in the Polígono de A Sionlla, in Santiago de Compostela.
Naturgy focuses on the development of sustainable mobility, both in heavy and light transport, through the use and promotion of biomethane, green hydrogen, electricity and NGV.
