The HGV sector is exploring multiple energy technologies for the future. Where does your company fit in?

PF: HGVs account for 18 per cent of road transport emissions in the UK, making it a key piece to the net zero puzzle. At CNG Fuels, we are rolling out a nationwide network of renewable biomethane refuelling stations for HGVs, to allow fleets to dramatically cut emissions today. By converting fleets to renewable biomethane, major brands through to local hauliers are now cutting emissions by over 90 per cent and saving up to 40 per cent on lifetime fuel costs when compared to diesel. 

We currently have 10 stations across the UK, enabling low carbon deliveries all the way from Inverness down to Cornwall. We are also preparing for future technologies, including hydrogen, to ensure that when these technologies become commercially viable, the infrastructure is already in place to cater to the demand.
