LIQAL noted that the LNG distribution network supports the need for accelerated decarbonization in the transport sector.

The station will supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquid to compressed natural gas (LCNG), as well as traditional fuel, the statement reads.

Drive Systems will operate the LNG/ LCNG station, LIQAL will design, manufacture and deliver the project, while Maes Energy & Mobility is responsible for building and operating the filling station for the traditional fuels.

With a storage capacity of 80,000 liters, this unmanned fuelling station contains an LNG dispenser for LNG powered trucks and an LCNG refueling system for CNG vehicles.

The facility will be built on the van den Broek premises and the site is planned to be operational by April 2020.
