Gets hummers going cleanly. LNG at Westfalen.
The demand for LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) as a climate and environmentally friendly fuel for heavy-duty transport is steadily increasing. The cryogenic liquefied natural gas has a very high energy density and thus achieves long ranges. This makes LNG an efficient alternative fuel - not only for road haulage, but especially for long-distance transport.
Even with fossil LNG (liquefied natural gas) fuel, pollutant emissions can be reduced by up to 20 % compared to diesel. This makes LNG interesting for heavy duty transport. The ecological savings potential of bio-LNG (bio-methane) is even greater. That is why we will be converting our locations to bio-LNG in the course of the year.
LNG stands for liquefied natural gas, which consists largely of methane. It is cooled down to about -162 °C and changes its state of aggregation in the process. Liquefaction reduces the volume by a factor of 600, which makes a high energy density and thus ranges of up to 1,600 km possible.
Up to 20 % less CO2 compared to diesel.
Up to 95 % less fine dust emissions.
Bis zu 50 % leiser als herkömmliche Diesel-Fahrzeuge.
Up to 50 % quieter than conventional diesel vehicles.
LNG vehicles from renowned brands available as standard.
Good workshop coverage.
Toll-free until at least 12/2023.
Bio-LNG is produced with renewable raw materials. Compared to fossil LNG, liquid bio-methane thus makes a significantly greater contribution to climate protection: since the bio-fuel is obtained from residues and waste, almost 100% of CO2 emissions can be saved compared to diesel. As soon as sufficient quantities of bio-LNG are available, we will convert our locations.
Climate change can only be tackled together. That is why we are constantly expanding our network and relying on strong partnerships in the region. Through the cooperation with revis bioenergy GmbH, we will convert all Westfalen LNG filling stations to bio-LNG after completion of the the biogas liquefier and thus become less dependent on the global gas price index. Revis exclusively processes manure from regional agriculture into biogas, liquefies it on site and stores it in tanks. Another benefit: the short transport routes also make the supply of bioLNG fuel to our LNG filling stations much more sustainable.
From e-mobility to hydrogen to LNG liquefied natural gas. Together with fleet operators, freight forwarders, logistics companies, local politicians and economic development agencies, we are working at full speed to successively expand the necessary infrastructure throughout Germany.
We build LNG filling stations on well-frequented transport routes and at important junctions. Exactly where there is a need - so also near you. Use our filling station finder to find an LNG filling station near you.

Converting your fleet from diesel to LNG offers many advantages. On the one hand, you strengthen your competitiveness with a green supply chain, and on the other hand, you save cash: with lower CO2 emissions, you pay less energy tax and you remain exempt from tolls until at least the end of 2023.
No. LNG is neither toxic nor corrosive. Due to the enormous cold, you only need to observe a few safety precautions during refuelling. Wearing protective goggles and gloves, for example, is mandatory. In addition, LNG refuelling is only allowed for drivers who are trained in handling the fuel. In the video you can see how refuelling a truck with LNG works and what to look out for.
Absolutely. Compared to conventional diesel fuels, LNG has the advantage that it emits significantly fewer pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter during combustion. Moreover, it can be produced from renewable sources, which further reduces the CO2 footprint.
The technology is well developed and there is an almost nationwide network of filling stations.
