CNG Fuels to host hydrogen trials at UK filling stations
UK fuel supplier CNG Fuels said on October 28 it planned to hold hydrogen trials at its network of UK renewable bio-methane filling stations starting next year.
The company expects to allocate 100 acres of its land to public access hydrogen refuelling by 2025, targeting heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) as users. It has also set up a new unit, HyFuels, to develop hydrogen technologies.

"HGVs alone account for 5% of all UK emissions, making their decarbonisation one of the single most important things the UK can do to meet our net zero ambitions," CNG Fuels CEO Philip Fjeld commented. “Renewable biomethane is and will continue to be the most effective decarbonisation solution for heavy transport for many years. However, we have launched HyFuels to ensure we are ready to support our customers’ journey to a multi-fuel future as new technologies become commercially viable and the fuel readily available.”
CNG Fuels aspires to have a network of 60 low-carbon refuelling stations by 2026. An interview with Fjeld can be read here.
