FordonsGas Sverige AB has opened Sweden’s first public filling station for liquefied vehicle gas (LNG). Also attending the inauguration ceremony were representatives of Volvo Lastvagnar AB, which company has commenced testing of dual-fuel trucks. Initially the LNG will come from Norway, but by spring the station will be supplied with liquefied biogas straight from a new biogas production plant in Lidköping. The biogas is locally produced and is a renewable resource, thus it only has a minimal effect on climate.
“Stigs Center is Sweden’s biggest sales outlet selling fuels for heavy duty vehicles. It’s marvellous that we can now offer both ordinary vehicle gas for private cars and liquefied vehicle gas for heavy duty vehicles at one and the same station,” says Fordongas CEO, Bo Ramberg. He added that if demand grows as forecast, Fordonsgas will build more LNG filling facilities.
