BIOLNG4EU
In the project BIOLNG4EU, which is co-financed by the European CEF programme, we developed the first infrastructure for Bio-LNG in the Netherlands and Belgium. We are investing in two locations for the production of Bio-LNG and four new refuelling stations for Bio-LNG blends. In collaboration with Scania, IVECO, and Volvo, we are conducting a real-life trial with 35 trucks that will run on Bio-LNG blends. During this trial, we will collect valuable data regarding the performance and costs of the trucks, the refuelling stations, and the production locations.
With these results, we will demonstrate that Bio-LNG is a serious option for greening road transport in the short term. Bio-LNG deserves to hold an important position in the fuel mix for transport!

LNG station Antwerp open
28/08/2020 – The new Antwerp station is part of the BIOLNG4EU project, that stimulates the further roll-out of (Bio-)LNG in road transport. Read the entire press release
Start pilot
Bio-LNG
16/08/2020 – Together with IVECO, Scania, Volvo and about ten transporters, Rolande has started a real life trial to measure the performance of driving on Bio-LNG. The trial is part of the BIOLNG4EU project co-funded by the European CEF programme. It is the first EU project in which trucks actually hit the road with Bio-LNG.
Filling stations in Belgium
22/06/2020 – As part of the BIOLNG4EU project, four new (Bio-)LNG filling stations are to be added to our network. The first BIOLNG4EU station to be realised is our new filling station in Antwerp, where both LNG and CNG can be refuelled. Apart from the ‘installation & commissioning’, the station is ready, and we hope to be able to open soon.
The first trucks running on Bio-LNG
27/05/2020 – LNG supplier, Rolande, is the first in the Netherlands to offer Bio-LNG. Both Albert Heijn and PostNL have implemented dozens of trucks that run on this fuel.
