The oil company Shell has inaugurated additional LNG filling stations and is expanding its network for the alternative truck fuel. The route includes Ramstein (A6), Geiselwind (A3), Herzsprung (A24), and Himmelkron (A9), connecting major ports with Eastern Central Europe and serving as an important corridor in freight transport. According to Shell, fleet managers had to plan detours to refuel with LNG so far. Another step in expanding the LNG network is the planned LNG station in Świecko, Poland, which Shell will put into operation in the summer. Business customers could use their Shell LNG Card for refueling.
The LNG filling station in Geiselwind, Bavaria, is one of the smaller stations with one pump, but can still supply 100 LNG trucks per day. Ramstein, Himmelkron, and Herzsprung, on the other hand, have two pumps each and a capacity of 30 tons to supply up to 200 LNG trucks per day.
The Shell LNG filling station network currently consists of over 16 stations in Germany and 32 stations in Europe. Additional LNG stations at important motorway sections in Germany are to be opened this autumn. In the coming years, the Shell LNG station network in Germany will be expanded to up to 40 locations, as long as the approval processes allow, according to Shell. These efforts, along with the production and injection of bio-LNG, are part of the transformation of the oil company into a "net-zero emissions company in line with society" and one of the contributions to the energy transition in Germany and Europe, as the company advertises.
