23 May 2024 - ReFuels N.V., one of Europe's leading suppliers of renewable biomethane (Bio-CNG) for the decarbonisation of heavy goods vehicles, has opened a new refuelling station at Aylesford in Kent under the CNG Fuels brand. As the first public access Bio-CNG station in Southeast England, it will support low-emission transport in a region with a population of more than 9 million.
Serving major UK haulage routes, including the M20 and M2, the Aylesford station is located on land acquired from the John Lewis Partnership adjacent to Waitrose's southeast distribution centre. It will enable the retail giant to continue to expand its fleet of biomethane-powered heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), already the largest in the UK.
"ReFuels is committed to making a low-carbon fuel available for fleet operators looking to decarbonise their long-haul operations. Southeast England is densely populated and hosts numerous industrial and commercial centres. Its proximity to mainland Europe via the English Channel makes it a gateway for trade between the UK and the EU, strategically located for both domestic and international trade", said Philip Fjeld, CEO of ReFuels.
The new Aylesford station has 12 fuel pump islands, allowing more than 700 trucks to be refuelled per day with a total capacity of more than 19 million kilograms (kg) of Bio-CNG annually. It is owned by a joint venture (JV) with Foresight Group.
The current CNG Fuels network in the UK can refuel more than 9,500 HGVs daily. This equals an annual dispensing capacity of more than 290 million kg of biomethane annually and a potential saving of more than 800,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually when compared to diesel.
ReFuels has one more station under construction in Doncaster in South Yorkshire which is one of the UK's largest logistics hubs.
