ReFuels NV, which supplies renewable biomethane (Bio-CNG) for HGVs, is to build a new public access refuelling station in Swindon, providing homegrown clean fuel to truck operators as an alternative to imported diesel.
Construction of the Swindon station will commence on 1 June and is expected to be completed in Q1 2027.
The new station will be owned and operated by CNG Fuels, which is 40% owned by ReFuels.
The Swindon station will be capable of refuelling 12 HGVs simultaneously when fully utilised, enabling over 800 trucks to refuel daily and providing annual capacity for more than 30 million kilograms (kg) of 100% renewable Bio-CNG.
ReFuels said the Swindon site, together with CNG Fuels’ Magor station, which is under construction in South Wales, will provide critical clean fuel infrastructure for low-carbon logistics across one of the UK’s busiest transport routes.
Philip Fjeld, ReFuels co-founder and chief executive, said: “Europe and the UK are increasingly addressing energy resilience by shifting away from volatile global fossil fuel markets.
“ReFuels has a clear strategy of expanding the CNG Fuels station network to enable logistics operators to reduce emissions and cut fuel costs while reducing dependency on diesel.
“Swindon and Magor are the next elements of that strategy, giving fleet operators access to a stable, domestic energy source.
“It will create a clean fuel corridor that supports the rapid decarbonisation of road freight along the M4 and into the Midlands.
“We see growing demand for biomethane as fleets adopt the new generation of larger 6×2 gas trucks, which unlock a significantly larger addressable market.”
ReFuels plans to nearly double the UK-wide dispensing capacity through its 40% owned CNG Fuels station network by the end of 2028 to meet the rising demand.
Bio-CNG, which is sourced from food waste and manure, delivers greenhouse gas emissions savings of 85-90% versus diesel and fuel costs that are 25% lower than diesel and 40% lower than HVO.
“Biomethane is a homegrown energy source that delivers carbon reductions at scale while offering lower and more predictable fuel costs. Since 2020, customers across our network have saved over GBP 55 million by switching to biomethane,” explained Fjeld.
Today, more than 2,250 trucks refuel daily at CNG Fuels’ 16 UK stations, with current network capacity exceeding 11,500 trucks per day.
The 2028 goal is to reach 20,000 HGVs per day, dispensing over 780 million kg of biomethane annually, equivalent to more than 2.3 million tonnes of CO₂ savings each year.
