February 21, 2023. Liqvis GmbH and revis bioenergy GmbH have concluded an agreement on supplying Bio-LNG. Based on current planning, revis bioenergy GmbH will supply Liqvis with Bio-LNG from mid-2023. Liqvis plans to offer Bio-LNG as an alternative fuel for heavy duty transport at its LNG filling stations in Germany from the summer of 2023 and to gradually convert its entire supply portfolio to 100% Bio-LNG.
“Unfortunately, due to the high gas prices caused by geopolitical developments in recent months, LNG is no longer competitive as an alternative fuel for heavy duty transport when compared with conventional fuels. Particularly our customers in the forwarding and logistics sector, who have relied on LNG-powered vehicles, have come under severe economic pressure. Together with revis bioenergy GmbH, we have succeeded in concluding a Bio-LNG supply contract which makes us less dependent on price developments on the European gas exchanges, while at the same time enabling more sustainable competitiveness with diesel fuels. We are pleased to be working together with a strong partner, revis bioenergy GmbH, to make another important contribution on the road to decarbonizing heavy duty transport in Germany. The Bio-LNG supply contract, under which the first quantities are to be delivered in the second half of 2023 according to current plans, thus creates a clear perspective for our customers and strengthens the future viability of this drive technology,”said Sebastian Gröblinghoff, Managing Director of Liqvis GmbH
Since they emit very little carbon dioxide, particulate matter or nitrogen oxide, LNG heavy duty trucks currently have no trouble meeting the high environmental requirements of the Euro VI emission standard. The use of Bio-LNG, which works without needing any alterations to LNG heavy duty trucks or filling station equipment, offers users the opportunity to take on another technologically pioneering role in carrying out climate-neutral transport.
