Shell, the LNG powerhouse headquartered in The Hague, is gearing up to advance the decarbonization of heavy-duty transport in Germany by expanding its network of LNG stations to 35-40 facilities.
According to Shell, this initiative presents an opportunity for the transport industry to significantly reduce its CO2 emissions footprint. In the initial phase, it is estimated that CO2 emissions could be slashed by up to 1 million tons per year by the mid-2020s.
The company has outlined its intention to incorporate Bio-LNG into its German LNG-supply chain to further support decarbonization efforts. Additionally, Shell is exploring the conversion of its fleet to operate on this sustainable fuel.
Pending regulatory approvals, Shell is poised to inaugurate stations in various locations including Recklinghausen, Hermsdorf, Kirchheim/Teck, Weinsberg, and the Cologne area in the upcoming months.
Currently, potential sites for the planned gas liquefaction plant are under scrutiny, with preparations underway for essential assessments, approval processes, and community engagement activities, as disclosed by Shell.
