LNG
Truck stop – LNG is used by the haulage industry

Anyone who has driven near Daventry recently, may have seen the open-access bio-LNG filling station, which just happened to be the first to open in the UK. Used by trucks, the low-emission fuel consists of 85% LNG and 15% liquefied biomethane (LBM), the latter of which is produced from organic matter.

Compared with diesel, LNG will cut fuel bills by between 20 and 30%

Compared with diesel, LNG will cut fuel bills by between 20 and 30%, whilst reducing CO2 emissions by a minimum of 20%. Analysts suggest that a UK fleet of trucks running on bio-LNG could cut haulage emissions by 65%. A single truck will see a 90% reduction in NOx and particulate matter emissions.
