August 25, 2026. Gasrec is to open its first high-capacity, public-access biomethane refueling facility in the North West, with planning permission secured for a new station in Warrington ideally located to service the busy M6 corridor.
The station, at Omega Business Park, is expected to begin construction in the next three months with refueling capacity for 1,000 gas trucks per day once fully operational.
Gasrec currently has 18 filling stations in operation and its growth in recent years – driven by a huge surge in demand – has seen its total refueling capacity rise significantly. The company’s 2027 ambition is to have infrastructure across the UK capable of refueling approximately 6,000 trucks per day. That would represent a three-fold increase in capacity within roughly 18 months for the business, further strengthening Gasrec’s position as the UK’s largest supplier of Bio-LNG for heavy transport.
James Westcott, Chief Commercial Officer at Gasrec, says: “The new station at Warrington forms the next step of our strategy to build a national refueling backbone of state-of-the-art, open-access biomethane stations. By building these facilities in strategically located sites we are providing more road transport operators the infrastructure they need to transition to this cleaner, low-carbon fuel.”
“Fleets are under ever increasing pressure to decarbonize now and by switching to Bio-LNG they can cut CO2 emissions by up to 80 per cent in comparison to diesel. Plus, it’s cheaper to run, and as the refueling process and truck performance is so similar to diesel it allows operators to change without compromiso, he added.”
