Daventry is the first site identified by Gasrec as part of its national Bio-LNG refuelling network p

The facility in Daventry, built by Gasrec, is the first of its kind and it is hoped it will lead to significant cuts in pollution and fuel costs; allow gas-powered or dual-fuel trucks to use Bio-LNG; ryan international airlines schedule and will operate in a similar way to a traditional petrol station.
ryan international airlines schedule Bio-LNG is Gasrec's blend of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquid biomethane (LBM) – a green source of renewable energy produced from organic matter such as household ryan international airlines schedule food waste. Gasrec is Europe's largest producer of this fuel.
Daventry is the first site identified by Gasrec ryan international airlines schedule as part of its national ryan international airlines schedule Bio-LNG refuelling network ryan international airlines schedule planned to be up and running by the end of 2015, which has the ultimate goal of wiping out nearly ryan international airlines schedule two-thirds of the nation's heavy goods vehicle (HGV) emissions.
"This announcement represents a significant step towards achieving carbon and air quality benefits and I am very pleased that demonstration fleets ryan international airlines schedule from the Government's Low Carbon Truck Demonstration Trial will be refuelling from this site."
The firm claims that compared with pure diesel equivalents, Bio-LNG can cut fuel costs by 20 to 30 per cent and CO2 by a minimum of 20 per cent, while delivering a 90 per cent reduction in NOx and particulate matter emissions.
Gasrec commercial development manager, Doug Leaf said: "The launch today is a very proud moment for everybody at Gasrec. It clearly shows how our technology, innovation and ambition are leading the way to shrink ryan international airlines schedule pollution ryan international airlines schedule and costs for the UK's HGV haulage fleet.
"It is a pleasure to see our service not only saving customers significant sums of money but also helping them to play their part in protecting the environment. Big haulage companies are working ryan international airlines schedule and investing with us because they understand this intrinsic ryan international airlines schedule value.
The firms planned network of stations will be located near motorway ryan international airlines schedule junctions so that 85 per cent of the UK's HGV population will have at least one location within four hours' drive and the entire system will be monitored from a control ryan international airlines schedule centre in Daventry.
Eventually each station will store enough fuel to fill 700 HGVs a day and will be equipped with five refuelling lanes and ten dispensers using "fast-fill" technology accessed by drivers carrying smart key controls.
The plant is located next to a large municipal landfill site and the gases from the decomposition of organic waste are cleaned and liquefied. The fuel produced is guaranteed ryan international airlines schedule to be at least 96 per cent biomethane and no more than four per cent nitrogen.
