E.ON's second CNG filling station opens in Czech Republic.
E.ON energy company, part of E.ON Energie AG, has opened its second compressed natural gas (CNG) filling station in the Czech Republic, in Svoboda nad Úpou. “The first one has already been opened in České Budějovice and I hope that soon there will be many more,” said the Chairman of the Board of E.ON Energie, a.s., Jiří Šimek. The station is located at the Osnado s.r.o.public transport facility. The Greenline TA 130 CNG filling station has a small ASPRO SCA 50-4 size compressor with a capacity of 140Nm³ /h; inlet/outlet gas dryer, one dispenser with NGV1 and NGV2 couplings and storage of 4.200 liters.
Currently, Osnado has more than 10 CNG-powered buses, of which seven are EKOBUS low-floor buses made in Poland. Due to the installation of this new fueling station, the company will continue replacing its fleet with natural gas driven vehicles, reportedly planning to add four more CNG units this year.
The Aspro fully enclosed compressor keeps noise levels low.
Constructed by TVAJA CNG Ltd., the filling station in Svoboda nad Úpou has been designed for both corporate as well as private clientele. “Our goal is to participate in the emerging CNG market. In addition, it is very important for us that it is an alternative technology with a significant ecological benefit,” said Jiří Šimek. The CNG compression system and its components are located in a fully enclosed sound-proofed container.
