Introduction

Description of the Action

“The study will test the use of Bio-LNG in a full live trial with HGV fleet operators using a pilot network of open access storage and refuelling terminals serving Priority Axes and the extended TEN-T road network in the UK. The pilot network will be enhanced through the use of mobile refuelling stations deployed initially in the UK on a temporary basis to smooth roll out before being moved to other EU member states to test the market in different locations, with subsequent up-scaling to permanent facilities as demand develops.”

Stakeholders

Fleet operators, engine manufacturers, NGVA-Europe, European Commission, HGV manufacturers, station equipment manufacturers, dual fuel engine converters and our TEN-T sponsor, HM Government.
