en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK bio-LNG supplier Gasrec has submitted a planning permission application for a new refueling station in the East of England region. The station, to be built and delivered by Gasrec itself, is scheduled to begin operations by the end of 2026.

Gasrec stated that the new site will become the first public bio-LNG refueling facility in the East of England, marking a significant expansion of the UK's national gas refueling infrastructure. It will help complete the strategic layout covering Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, supporting regional and long-distance transport operations.

The company said that partner FreshLinc has been exploring various ways to decarbonize its fleet of approximately 400 commercial vehicles and believes biomethane is currently the best pathway for transitioning to alternative fuels. FreshLinc plans to add its first gas trucks later this year. In implementing the new site, FreshLinc has worked closely with Gasrec, initially installing a skid-mounted tanker gas supply facility capable of refueling 100 gas trucks daily, followed by the installation of a large permanent refueling station later this year.

Last November, Gasrec commissioned its second large-scale vehicle bio-LNG refueling facility. At that time, Gasrec stated that the Hams Hall station could refuel up to 300 trucks daily with bio-LNG, with capacity set to expand to accommodate up to 1,000 trucks per day in the coming years. Last year, UK energy company Centrica acquired a 16% stake in Gasrec, making it one of the three major shareholders, alongside energy giant BP and private family office 44 North.
