Demand rising for biomethane
Gasrec is reporting the highest demand for biomethane in the company’s history, with volumes reaching an all-time high in June 2023 – and set to continue rising thanks to pending orders from fleets for new gas-powered trucks.
JUNE’S GAS sales represented a 250 per cent increase versus March 2020, when demand had been soaring prior to the pandemic.
Gasrec chief operating officer James Westcott, says: “Fleets are under pressure from customers to decarbonise, and bio-LNG (liquified natural gas) is the most viable, readily-available solution – plus it’s suitable for longer-haul missions, with quick refuelling times.
“This year we’ve already opened three new refuelling facilities in Lutterworth, Fradley Park and South Elmsall, increasing our network to 16 sites, and with three more due to be installed before the end of the year.”
