Lorries will soon be able to fill their tanks with biomethane at what is claimed to be the world’s largest low carbon Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) refuelling station that will open in Avonmouth, Bristol.
The new facility will be capable of refuelling 80 HGVs an hour from 14 high-speed dispensers.
The project, which is developed by the refuelling infrastructure provider CNG Fuels, is designed to serve fleet operators who want to run their vehicles on low carbon fuel.
The biomethane on the station is sourced from food waste – it is believed to be the lowest carbon alternative to diesel for HGVs reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%.

Police in Suffolk stopped almost 300 vehicles and detected over 350 offences, after targeting drivers of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) as part of an operation supported by Highways England.
Operation Tramline saw police provided with an HGV tractor unit by Highways England, which allowed officers to carry out patrols across the strategic road network in both counties and focus on offences committed by lorry drivers.
