Both companies have among their main lines of action the promotion of net zero emission technologies to contribute to the decarbonisation of society. That shared ambition led both companies to sign a collaboration agreement to promote the use of renewable hydrogen to decarbonize transportation for the next few years.
Since 2021, the company has expanded from the Community of Madrid to six other regions throughout the entire Peninsula: Castilla y León, the Valencian Community, La Rioja, the Basque Country, Castilla La Mancha and Extremadura. Noriega Grupo Logístico has added 78 LNG trucks to its fleet and has closed a supply agreement with Aliara Energía.
With this opening, under the CNG Fuels brand, ReFuels expands its UK-wide network of public-access stations to include major trucking routes in Northeast England, providing customers such as Lidl, DHL, and GBA Services access to low carbon biomethane to minimize the GHG footprint of their logistics operations.
The fund, which will be opened to other institutional investors and private banking clients, aims to raise up to 100 million euros, in a first phase, for the construction and development of between 20 and 25 plants in Spain over a five-year period. In turn, this will generate a total of 70 permanent jobs and 240 indirect jobs.
The company has launched a standardized range of hydrogen filling stations in three formats, compatible with different hydrogen supply sources (electrolyzer or tube trailer): portable station, compact-modular station and high-capacity station. This milestone will allow to reduce costs, optimize resources and be more competitive.
This collaboration combines Blue Grid’s expertise in downstream LNG supply and distribution with the geographical footprint of Elin’s network, and will accelerate the promotion and adoption of alternative fuels in Greece. The new facility, to be located in Attica (Thriassio area), is expected to be operational within the first quarter of 2024 and will also offer CNG.
Liberty Coca-Cola, one of the country’s largest bottlers and distributors of Coke and other brands and serving the Northeast U.S., has signed a fueling contract with Clean Energy to power trucks in New York and Philadelphia with renewable natural gas. These are its first trucks to operate on biomethane.
Long-time customer and an early adopter of renewable natural gas, the Big Blue Bus in Santa Monica, CA has signed a maintenance agreement for its fleet of 195 transit buses that fuels with an anticipated 7.5 million gallons of biomethane. In 2015, Big Blue Bus became one of the country’s first municipal transit agencies to convert its entire fleet to this renewable fuel.
The Ministry of Planning, Economy and Infrastructure is advancing on strategic investment projects for the connection of natural gas in industrial parks. Pipes have already arrived for the start of the installation works of the supply branch to the Sáenz Peña industrial park. This installation will make it possible to provide a connection to YPF and Shell stations.
The Camisea Consortium, operated by Pluspetrol, announced the execution of the “Corredor Camisea GNL,” a new project that seeks to contribute to the efforts of widespread adoption of natural gas in Peru, this time in the transport of heavy cargo that circulates in the south of the country. The initiative will be carried out through an agreement with Limagas Natural.
