German engineering firm Bilfinger has signed a contract for work on a bio-LNG liquefaction plant in Germany that will provide fuel for the heavy-duty transport sector, the company said on August 23.
Due for completion in early 2024, the plant will be situated at a site belonging to bio-methane producer Reefuelery in Bakum. By switching 4,500 heavy-duty vehicles to run on bio-LNG instead of diesel, some 550,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions can be avoided, Bilfinger said.
"Bilfinger has immense potential to actively shape the energy transition in industry," company CEO Thomas Schulz said in a statement. "The plant is a model for the circular economy and will help ensure that Germany reduces its dependence on fossil fuels."
The company's contract covers engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the refuelling facility as well as piping construction expertise.
