Gasrec is to open its first high-capacity, public-access bio-LNG refuelling facility in the North West, with planning permission secured for a new station in Warrington located to service the M6 corridor.

The station, at Omega Business Park, is expected to begin construction in the next three months with refuelling capacity for 1000 gas trucks per day once fully operational.

Gasrec currently has 18 refuelling stations in operation and its growth in recent years – driven by a huge surge in demand – has seen its total refuelling capacity rise significantly. The company’s 2027 ambition is to have infrastructure across the UK capable of refuelling approximately 6000 trucks per day. That would represent a three-fold increase in capacity within roughly 18 months for the business, further strengthening Gasrec’s position as the UK’s largest supplier of bio-LNG for heavy transport.

James Westcott, Chief Commercial Officer at Gasrec, said: “The new station at Warrington forms the next step of our strategy to build a national refuelling backbone of state-of-the-art, open-access biomethane refuelling stations. By building these facilities in strategically located sites we are providing more road transport operators the infrastructure they need to transition to this cleaner, low-carbon fuel.

“Fleets are under ever increasing pressure to decarbonise now and by switching to bio-LNG they can cut carbon dioxide emissions by up to 80% in comparison to diesel. Plus, it’s cheaper to run and, as the refuelling process and truck performance is so similar to diesel, it allows operators to change without compromise.”

Omega Business Park is a 775-acre major distribution hub on the M62, with close access to the M6 and links towards Liverpool and the wider Merseyside logistics cluster. As part of the design, on-site truck parking will be included at the new station to support local fleet deployments across the region.
