UK: Air Liquide to install 6 bioNGV stations for trucks at ASDA
Operational by the first quarter of 2021, the new stations will boost Air Liquide's network to 20 filling stations in the UK.
One of the leading retailers in the United Kingdom, ASDA, has contracted Air Liquide to install and operate biomethane (BioNGV) distribution stations on 6 of the retailer’s 15 sites. The stations will refuel both ASDA trucks and those of some partners.
The new stations for ASDA, which will be operational by the first quarter of 2021, will boost Air Liquide's network to 20 filling stations in the UK.
Air Liquide’s stations are dedicated to refilling fleets of trucks and buses. At the end of 2019, Air Liquide acquired Gas Bus Alliance, which added 7 biomethane filling stations for buses to its network in the country.
Besides the bioGNV stations, British retail group ASDA announced that it will commission more than 300 new BioNGV trucks in 2021 to reduce the environmental footprint of its transport activities.
Air Liquide will also install its tenth biomethane production plant in the UK by the summer of 2021, near Nottingham, with a production capacity of 90 GWh. Today, Air Liquide’s biomethane production capacity in the UK amounts to 650 GWh per year, which is enough to supply 1,000 trucks.
