Dutch firm Rolande has opened another bio-LNG fueling station for trucks in Germany.
The official opening for the station in Germany’s Großmehring took place on October 22, according to a statement by Rolande.
Rolande noted that the new station is located directly on the A9 motorway, one of Europe’s most important north-south corridors for logistics.
Moreover, this gives the location a “key role” in connecting southern Germany with Rolande’s existing network in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the rest of Germany, it said.
Rolande said that the station offers 100 percent Bio-LNG, produced from organic waste streams such as manure and food waste.
This fuel can be used directly in existing LNG trucks and can achieve up to 200 percent CO₂ reduction compared to diesel., the company cliams.
Rolande’s bio-LNG is also fully certified and meets the requirements of CSRD reporting, the firm added.
According to Rolande’s website, the company has nine LNG fueling stations in Germany, 13 in the Netherlands, and five in Belgium.
Earlier this year, Europe’s network of LNG fueling stations for vehicles surpassed 800 stations, according to Eurogas.
Germany remains the leader with 194 LNG stations for vehicles, followed by Italy with 170 stations, according to the newwst data.
Combined, these two countries host almost half of Europe’s LNG stations.
