From now on, the Mugardos (A Coruña) plant will be able to operate not only large and medium methane tankers, but all types of vessels, even the smallest on the market. This action is part of the adaptation and modernization program of the plant, and will pave the way to develop a benchmark LNG hub in the northwest of the peninsula.
CalBio announced a funding partnership, of up to $500 million, with Brookfield Renewable to scale its growth in renewable natural gas and other waste-to-energy opportunities. CalBio’s proven track record combined with Brookfield’s global reach and capital will accelerate the company’s expansion of decarbonization solutions and reduction in GHG emissions.
Equipped with CNG dispensers from the Argentina-based company Aspro, the new SCGÁS facility is strategically located in Araquari, on the BR 101 highway, km 56, the most important corridor in the State, which connects the large flow of heavy-duty vehicles between the states of the southern and southeastern regions.
The new facility will provide an anticipated 1.4 million gallons of the clean fuel annually for Amazon’s +100 trucks and other fleets in the greater Chicago area, and is part of an agreement between Clean Energy and Amazon for Clean Energy to build 19 stations nationwide. It will allow to reduce carbon emissions by 15,219 MT metric tons.
The filling stations, expected to open between 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, will be located in Poland, France, the UK and Spain. They will have different capacities, thus adapting to the specific needs of each of their clients, from 200 to 1,600 kilos of hydrogen dispensed per day, which translates into filling 20-30 cars and 40-60 buses per day
The three-year framework agreement will boost the creation of efficient hydrogen mobility solutions for the EU market. It represents also a win-win strategy in terms of geographical footprint by allowing the rollout of HRS stations in Italy under decarbonized mobility projects coordinated by Snam4Mobility and supported by its consolidated experience in the sector.
VoltaGrid will acquire substantially all assets of Pilot’s CNG compression, CNG mobile pipeline and CNG logistics platform. Through the acquisition, which builds off a well-developed relationship that the two companies formed in 2020, VoltaGrid will become the largest vertically integrated portable power generation and clean fuels platform in North America.
Last year, the growth of the sector was unprecedented, with a 20% increase in biomethane production and a total of 3.5 bcm produced in 2021, according to a new edition of the EBA Statistical Report. The deployment of renewable gases entails a substantial contribution to climate targets, but also to the EU’s independence from natural gas imports.
The company has begun providing renewable natural gas for the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority (CCRRA) in Bellefonte, PA. Switching the station from conventional to renewable natural gas will reduce carbon emissions by 3,696 metric tons each year. The facility will supply bio-CNG to CCRRA vehicles and other fleets, including WM’s trucks.
The procurement of FordonsGas’ locations means that 41 biomethane stations will be added to OG Clean Fuels current offering. The agreement includes fixed assets consisting of 36 bio-CNG and five bio-LNG stations. Adding this to its nine already existing locations in Sweden, OG has now secured its position as one of the top 3 market leaders in this country.
