Rolande to make a push for Bio-LNG

The Dutch company, Rolande LNG intends on scaling up its Bio-LNG production, transitioning from liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel for road transport. 

Jolon van der Schuit, Rolande LNG’s CEO said the company has received EU funding through the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), which will enable it to get Bio-LNG to the market faster.

“With our project, it will be easier for transport and shipping companies to make the transition to cleaner trucks. From now on, you will not just be making the choice for LNG, but for Bio-LNG,” he said.

The goal of the project is to install two bio transformation stations (BTS) and four Bio-LNG fuel stations in The Netherlands and Belgium. The two BTS’s will transform locally produced biogas to liquefied Bio-LNG.

Rolande LNG added that with the EU support it has already realised four LNG fuel stations, which created a big push for the LNG market.

Bio-LNG can be produced on several locations in Europe. This means that the dependency on oil and gas producing regions will be decreased for Europe, the company’s statement reads.

Rolande owns eight LNG fuel stations in The Netherlands and has ambitious plans to expand their network in Western Europe.
