We already have six of them and they contribute to cleaner and more sustainable truck transport. What are we talking about? Our LNG filling stations, of course. At first glance, they look quite different from CNG filling stations, which look like regular petrol stations. The LNG stations are dominated by a large white tank. Especially the stationary versions can be seen from a distance. Let's take a closer look at their technology.

The Czech leader in LNG for road freight transport, GasNet Group, has opened its sixth filling station. The filling station is located in Hradec Kralove in eastern Bohemia and serves gas trucks travelling on the D11 motorway, the main route from the Czech Republic to western Poland. As at other GasNet stations, drivers will be able to refuel with renewable bioLNG, which GasNet Group was the first in the Czech Republic to start selling in November last year.

GasNet, the largest domestic gas distributor and Czech leader in LNG for road freight transport, has launched sales of low-emission liquefied biomethane (bioLNG). This is the first time in the Czech Republic that truck drivers will be able to refuel with this unique renewable fuel. Compared to a diesel engine, bioLNG has up to 95% lower carbon dioxide emissions. There are currently around 70,000 heavy goods vehicles registered in the Czech Republic with traditional propulsion. BioLNG offers the only truly affordable and efficient solution to reduce the emission footprint and associated costs of emission allowances in this sector, which are due to start in 2027. BioLNG will be available at a total of six GasNet filling stations. The newest station, currently completed in Klecany near Prague, was inaugurated today by the Minister of the Environment of the Czech Republic, Petr Hladík, together with representatives of the company.
