Bio-CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) - Westfalen AG (PLC)

Compressed climate friendliness.
CNG at Westfalen.

CNG (Compressed Natural Gas): The environmentally friendly alternative for commercial vehicles in municipal and regional transport.

In many German cities, the EU limits for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) have been exceeded for years. Diesel driving bans are supposed to provide a remedy. However, much more is needed to achieve the climate protection goals. In addition, more and more customers are demanding emission-free delivery.

Accept the challenge and take advantage of the opportunities that arise. Now!

  • Profit from state benefits
  • Stay competitive.
  • Actively support climate protection.

Bio-CNG: Less noise, less particulate matter, fewer emissions.

Due to its shorter range compared to LNG, bio-CNG is recommended for light and heavy commercial vehicle fleets in local transport as well as for municipal vehicles with an annual mileage of up to 100,000 kilometres.

  • Vehicles: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) vehicles from leading manufacturers available.
  • Range: 550 km to 800 km.
  • Refuelling: Refuelling process is not significantly different from diesel. Protective clothing is not required.

What is CNG?

CNG stands for Compressed Natural Gas.

Compressed natural gas (methane) is actually a fossil fuel. However, since much less CO2 is released during combustion than with conventional fuels, CNG is much more climate-friendly.


CNG technology: Proven and efficient.

Natural gas vehicles are

  • reliable,
  • much cheaper to maintain than petrol or diesel engines,
  • are just as easy to refuel,
  • Protect the environment.

The technology has been tested for many years in the passenger car sector.

Making transport and ­city­ centres more sus­tainable and­ greener with bio-CNG: Together!

The condi­tions for rapid CNG market development­ are good.

A wide range of commercial ­and­ municipal vehicles is already­ available­. The only thing missing­ for a rapid market ramp-up is the availability of CNG filling­ stations. There are­ about 850 natural gas filling stations­ in Ger­many. However,­ a large number of  them are not suit­able for refuelling natural­ gas­ commercial vehicles. On the­ one hand, the pre-­com­pres­sed­ natural gas buf­fer quantity in the­ dispenser is​​​​​​​­ not sufficient for refuelling trucks. On the ­other hand, they​​​​​​​­ are difficult to access by​​​​​​​ large­ transport­ vehicles due­ to­ the ­ often cramped con­dition. Around 70 % of​​​​​​​ passenger­ car filling stations already­ offer­​​​​​​​ environmentally friendly bio-CNG.

New challenges need new companions. 

For this reason, we are expanding the network of bio-CNG­ (bio-methane) filling stations­ nationwide. In the process, we coordinate closely with freight forwarders, transport and logistics companies as well as municipalities, which guarantee a basic utilisation of the CNG station. This gives both sides planning security.

Your advantages of a strategic partnership with Westfalen:

  • Long-term cooperation at eye ­ level.
  • Planning and supply­ security.
  • Low investment ­costs.
  • No resource  com­mitment.

Successive expansion of the Germany-wide CNG filling station network for commercial vehicles and municipalities.

We build and operate public bio-CNG filling stations with a high level of convenience:

  • Where there is a need.
  • At well-frequented traffic axes and important junctions.
  • Parallel refuelling possible on two lanes.
  • Easy to get to, covered and open 24/7.
  • Wide fuel and credit card acceptance.

Because the mobility revolution can only succeed if we work together:

Construction of a public bio-CNG filling station in Coesfeld.
We are looking forward to being able to initiate a promising project in Coesfeld together with a strong partner such as REMONDIS.

The public bio-CNG filling station to be built at Dreischkamp 38 on the EIWO Truckwash site will be open 24/7 and equipped with two lanes and weather protection. The opening is planned for summer this year.
