Liqvis is further expanding its BIO-LNG procurement portfolio and will gradually switch to Bio-LNG for heavy goods transport from 2023
|
Liqvis GmbH and revis bioenergy GmbH have concluded a contract for the supply of bio-LNG.
According to current plans, revis bioenergy GmbH will supply bio-LNG to Liqvis from mid-2023.
TheCO2-neutral bio-LNG, which comes exclusively from advanced waste and residues from agricultural use in accordance with EU Regulation RED II, will be produced in a revis biomethane liquefaction plant.
Compared to conventional LNG, bio-LNG will enable further significantCO2 savings.
Liqvis plans to offer bio-LNG as an alternative fuel for heavy goods vehicles at its LNG filling stations in Germany from summer 2023 and to gradually convert its entire procurement portfolio to 100% BIO-LNG.
Sebastian Gröblinghoff, Managing Director of Liqvis GmbH: “Due to the high gas prices in recent months as a result of geopolitical developments, LNG has unfortunately lost its competitiveness as an alternative fuel in heavy goods transport compared to conventional fuels. Our customers in the freight forwarding and logistics sector in particular, who have relied on LNG-powered vehicles, have come under severe economic pressure as a result. Together with revis bioenergy GmbH, we have succeeded in concluding a bio-LNG supply contract that makes us less dependent on price developments on the European gas exchanges and at the same time enables us to compete more sustainably with diesel fuels. Together with revis bioenergy GmbH as a strong partner, we are also pleased to be able to make another important contribution to the decarbonization of heavy goods transport in Germany. The bio-LNG supply contract, under which the first quantities are to be delivered in the second half of 2023 according to current plans, thus creates a clear perspective for our customers and strengthens the future viability of this drive technology.”
Simon Detscher, Managing Director of revis bioenergy GmbH: “In revis bioenergy GmbH, LIQVIS has gained a strong partner that specializes in the operation of biogas and biomethane plants using residual and waste materials. As a partner and marketer for green gases and fuels, revis will also take over the liquefaction of the biomethane produced”. The Uniper subsidiary LIQVIS has been operating LNG refueling stations at strategic transport hubs with particularly high truck volumes since 2017, thus helping our customers to achieve significantCO2 savings compared to the use of diesel as a fuel by offering conventional LNG.
Thanks to the cooperation with another strong partner, Liqvis will be able to offer its customers a completelyCO2-neutral product at competitive prices compared to diesel for the first time from mid-2023.
Liqvis is working intensively to increase the share of bio-LNG in the filling station network to 100% in the second half of 2023. LNG trucks with their low carbon dioxide, particulate matter and nitrogen oxide values already easily meet the high environmental requirements of the Euro VI emissions standard.
The use of BIO-LNG, which works without any adjustments to the LNG trucks or filling station technology, offers users the opportunity to carry out climate-neutral transportation and thus once again take on a technological pioneering role.
