Total, Sigeif Mobilités launch France’s largest bioCNG station

The Gennevilliers station will support new mobilities in the Île-de-France region and become a strategic location for (bio)NGV supply for the Grand Paris area.

Total has inaugurated France’s largest filling station exclusively dedicated to natural gas for vehicle (NGV) and bioNGV. Located at the heart of the logistics platform of Gennevilliers, the second largest fluvial port in Europe, this station is now open 24/7 to professionals (B2B) and B2C customers.

This concession has been attributed to Total by Sigeif Mobilités (a semi-public company founded by Sigeif and the Caisse des Dépôts) through a tender, and it will be operated by Total for the next 10 years.

The Gennevilliers station will support the development of new mobilities in the Île-de-France region and will become a strategic location for NGV and bioNGV supply for the Grand Paris area (which includes the City of Paris & its 130 surrounding cities) and beyond.

This Total-branded station will distribute NGV as compressed natural gas (CNG) and will be supplied to the site by GRTgaz, for the first time in France through its high-pressure gas delivery network. The station will be able to distribute up to 100% of bioNGV, as users have the possibility to choose and adjust - directly at the pump and contractually for B2B customers - between several rates of biomethane incorporation.

Total’s ambition is to become a leader in NGV and bioNGV distribution in Europe, with 450 Total-operated stations by 2025 including 110 in France, according to President of Total Marketing France, Guillaume Larroque.

Sem Sigeif Mobilités started to commission its network of NGV/bioNGV filling stations back in 2014.
