ReFuels N.V., one of Europe's leading suppliers of renewable biomethane (Bio-CNG) for the decarbonisation of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), has opened a new refuelling station at Doncaster in South Yorkshire under the CNG Fuels brand.
Doncaster is a key logistics hub, strategically located with 90% of the UK population and four major ports within a 4-5-hour reach. The station will enable truck fleets to cut CO2 emissions by 80-90% with 100% renewable and sustainable biomethane. The public access Bio-CNG station is close to both Immingham Docks, the UK’s largest port by tonnage, and iPort, one of the country’s most advanced multimodal logistics hubs.
The new station can refuel 10 trucks simultaneously. The total dispensing capacity is 19 million kilograms (kg) of Bio-CNG annually.
“This marks ReFuels’ 15th public access refuelling station in operation in the UK. We now can refuel more than 10,000 heavy goods vehicles daily with 100% renewable and sustainable biomethane. Our Doncaster station will be a key refuelling point for fleets operating between major national ports and distribution centres, using 100% renewable and sustainable biomethane to reduce their carbon footprint and fuel cost compared to diesel,” said Philip Fjeld, CEO and co-founder of ReFuels.
CNG Fuels' current UK network of 15 stations in operation has an annual dispensing capacity of more than 310 million kg of biomethane, enabling potential savings of more than 850,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year, compared to diesel. The year-end 2026 target of 30-40 stations in build and operation equals a total capacity of up to 23,000 HGVs per day and more than 650 million kg of biomethane annually.
The Doncaster station is owned by a joint venture (JV) with Foresight Group. ReFuels has one more station under construction in Livingston, Scotland, which will enable low-emission transport between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
