OG Clean Fuels, in collaboration with Circle K, is building a hydrogen station for heavy transport at Vädermotet in the Port of Gothenburg. Fully funded by the Swedish Energy Agency and part of the Tranzero Initiative, the new facility will initially have six refueling points for heavy vehicles and will offer good turning radius for large trucks.
Figures show that, with support, nearly 91 million tons of manure and slurry and 10 million tons of food waste could be turned into 8bn cubic meters of biogas, enough to run around 3.8 million of the UK’s buses and heavy goods vehicles. That’s why Arla has asked the Government to tap into a major unused source of energy from farms.
ANDION ITALY S.p.A. and EGEA NEW ENERGY S.p.A. announced the joint acquisition of BIOMETHAN GREEN 1 – SOCIETÀ AGRICOLA S.R.L., a greenfield agricultural project in Mirandola, province of Modena. Bio-LNG will be produced by processing organic waste, specifically agricultural production waste, using Andion’s proprietary anaerobic digestion technology.
OPAL Fuels and NextEra Energy Marketing put into operation the first landfill renewable natural gas production facility in Minnesota. The Pine Bend RNG Project is located at a landfill owned by Republic Services and interconnected with a pipeline owned by Xcel Energy, the leading electric and gas utility in the region.
Lipigas plans to invest US$2.5 million in 2023 to develop the first LNG stations for long-distance transportation in Peru. The investment is part of the company’s experience in the use of LNG in heavy trucks in Chile and the possibilities offered by the decision of the successive governments of Peru to promote the use of locally-produced natural gas.
This facility is the result of a strong partnership between Trillium and the Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works. It will be operated and maintained by Trillium and support 560 of the 748 buses the county operates, a bus wash and chassis lift for the county’s use, as well as a CNG fueling point open to the public.
Nikola Corporation and KeyState Natural Gas Synthesis are working together to create Pennsylvania’s first low-carbon hydrogen production value chain. KeyState plans to deliver up to 100 tons per day of low carbon hydrogen, which can supply up to 2,500 Nikola Tre trucks, displacing over 51,000,000 gallons of fossil diesel per annum consumed.
The facility, which will be located in the vicinity of the Repsol industrial hub in Cartagena, will involve an investment of around 215 million euros and the generation of 1,100 jobs in the different phases of construction and start-up, planned for 2025. Next year, progress will be made in the detailed engineering and in the administrative processing of the project.
The new facility is located at El Cisne Service Station (part of Grupo Zoilo Ríos), at kilometer 309 of the A-2 motorway, next to Plataforma Logística – Zaragoza (PLAZA), one of the largest logistics centers in Europe. It is a strategic location for the transport of goods through which more than 6,000 heavy vehicles circulate daily.
With this new facility, located in Waregem, and the other existing stations in Antwerp, Habay and Meer, the partners are working towards a comprehensive Belgian LNG network. “We want to move on to bio-LNG as soon as possible. That will allow heavy-duty vehicles to reduce their carbon emissions by nearly 100%,” according to Rolande.
