ReFuels will begin construction in June of a new public access refuelling station in Swindon, South-West England.
The strategically located CNG Fuels station will provide a homegrown clean fuel to truck operators as an alternative to imported diesel, across the high-demand corridor between London, South Wales and the Midlands.
The new station will be capable of refuelling 12 HGVs simultaneously and is expected to be completed within Q1 2027. With direct access to the M4 motorway, it is close to major distribution hubs and freight traffic flows.
Together with CNG Fuels’ Magor station under construction in South Wales, the site provides clean fuel infrastructure for low-carbon logistics across one of the UK’s busiest transport routes.
ReFuels plans to nearly double the UK-wide dispensing capacity through the 40% owned CNG Fuels station network by the end of 2028 to meet the rising demand.
Bio-CNG sourced from food waste and manure delivers greenhouse gas emissions savings of 85-90% versus diesel and fuel costs that are 25% lower than diesel and 40% lower than HVO.
More than 2,250 trucks refuel daily at CNG Fuels’ 16 UK stations, with current network capacity exceeding 11,500 trucks per day. The 2028 goal is to reach 20,000 HGVs per day, dispensing over 780 million kg of bio-methane annually.
Philip Fjeld, CEO and co-founder of ReFuels, said:
“Europe and the UK are increasingly addressing energy resilience by shifting away from volatile global fossil fuel markets. ReFuels has a clear strategy of expanding the CNG Fuels station network to enable logistics operators to reduce emissions and cut fuel costs while reducing dependency on diesel.
“Swindon and Magor are the next elements of that strategy, giving fleet operators access to a stable, domestic energy source. It will create a clean fuel corridor that supports the rapid decarbonisation of road freight along the M4 and into the Midlands.
“We see growing demand for biomethane as fleets adopt the new generation of larger 6×2 gas trucks, which unlock a significantly larger addressable market.”
