Gasrec opens dedicated biogas filling station for UK milk giant’s fleet

In the UK, Gasrec has opened a dedicated Bio-LNG filling station at Arla Foods’ new GBP150 million dairy at Aylesbury, which is set to become the UK’s first zero carbon dairy and has the capacity to process up to one billion litres of fresh milk a year. Gasrec has a strategic partnership with leading European dairy company Arla Foods, to develop and implement a strategy to introduce low emission Bio-LNG fuel for its heavy goods vehicle fleet across its European operations. The initiative supports Arla’s U.K. Logistics target of a 25 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020 within the areas of production, transport and packaging.

At the new Aylesbury dairy, the largest fresh milk processing facility in the world, Arla plans to convert its entire fleet of vehicles to dual-fuel; with the first 10 dual-fuel conversion trucks running on Bio-LNG this month. As part of this collaboration, Gasrec will supply bio-LNG and provide refuelling station infrastructure at the Aylesbury site matched to the number of trucks converted to use it.
