Europe reaches 500 LNG stations milestone in Europe
The size of the fuelling network has seen exponential growth doubling within only 2 years.
The Natural & bio Gas Vehicle Association (NGVA Europe) has announced that Europe has reached the milestone of 500 LNG stations in Europe.
While growing exponentially, the size of this fuelling network doubled within only 2 years. LNG is used primarily for heavy-duty vehicles and in the maritime sector.
Today, the countries with the highest amount of stations are Italy with 112, Germany with 108, Spain with 79, and France with 60 LNG stations. With a plus of 140% within only one year, Germany is among the top gainers (coming from 45 stations in February 2021). In the same period of time, Italy gained 35% (from 83), Spain 23% (from 64) and France 25% (from 48) new stations.
“We are proud to have reached this important milestone of 500 LNG stations in Europe. It is the proof that LNG as a vehicle fuel is both widely accepted, and also available. An exponentially growing amount of consumers are choosing LNG as a future proof transport fuel for which vehicles are largely available, affordable, and most importantly, potent enablers of a drastic reduction in GHG emissions,” NGVA Europe’s Secretary General Dr Jens Andersen.
The Natural & bio Gas Vehicle Association (NGVA Europe) is the European association that promotes the use of natural and renewable gas as a transport fuel.
