The first biomethane HGV refuelling station in Southeast England is a joint venture between CNG Fuels, the infrastructure arm of ReFuels, a supplier of renewable biomethane (Bio-CNG), and Foresight Group.

In a statement, Philip Fjeld, CEO of ReFuels, said: “Bio-CNG is the only fuel available today that can decarbonise the UK’s HGV fleet at the scale and pace required to meet net zero. Well over one hundred fleets across the UK are now adopting the fuel en masse and our new site in Aylesford, built on land acquired from the John Lewis Partnership, is a testament to this growing demand and the value fleet operators place on the enabling refuelling infrastructure.”

Serving major UK trunk routes including the M20 and M2, the new site is being built on land acquired by ReFuels from the John Lewis Partnership (JLP) adjacent to Waitrose’s southeast distribution centre.
