As well as cutting CO2 emissions, the combustion of LNG also releases significantly less NOx and SOx and virtually no ash or particulates. Furthermore, incorporating a LIN system into the installation design prevents venting of LNG into the atmosphere when pressure needs to be reduced within the LNG tank. Emissions savings can be tracked. And, importantly, as LNG evaporates rapidly when exposed to air, it leaves no residue on water or soil.

LNG is both non-toxic and non-corrosive. Its high combustion temperature of 650°C, more than twice that of diesel, means that it cannot spontaneously combust. Additional safety measures, such as gas and flame detectors and automatic shutdown when the ignition is off, are also integrated into the installation design.

LNG stations are designed with maximum flexibility. They have storage capacity that is in line with the estimated traffic, have short installation times and can be easily relocated. They are equipped with a tailormade safety system suitable for the space available and they only need limited space (from around 1000m3). For drivers’ convenience, they enable vehicles to be refuelled on either side.

An automated alert system forewarns you of any problems before they occur to assure 24/7 operational mode.

Today’s generation of natural gas-powered vehicles complies with the latest Euro emissions standards. LNG engines are quieter, so they can boldly go where no commercial vehicle has gone before: town centres and residential areas that have noise restrictions are no longer out of bounds. 

LNG is widely available worldwide, ensuring energy security, reducing dependence on oil-producing nations and resulting in more stable pricing than other fuels.

As well as being significantly cheaper than diesel, LNG is not tied to foreign oil markets, which protects it from erratic price swings. The LNG raw product cost is only about 30% of the overall LNG delivered cost. Another advantage is LNG’s long-term hedging opportunities which allow accurate budgeting of fuel costs¹¹. Continued market growth allows us to combine deliveries, reducing distribution costs.
