Denmark’s first LNG truck refuelling station on the way

Located at Q8’s IDS station in Padborg city, the site is expected to be ready at the end of 2021. It will eventually offer 100% fossil-free liquefied biogas (LBG).

Q8, in cooperation with KC LNG, is building Denmark’s first ever refuelling station for trucks running on liquefied natural gas (LNG). Located at Q8’s IDS station in Padborg city, the site is expected to be ready at the end of 2021, according to a press release.

Padborg, which is right next to a major highway and the border to Germany, is one of Europe’s busiest transport hubs. Over 7,000 trucks make their way here each day, which will make the station a key junction for the transport of goods between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe.

To start, truck drivers will fill their tanks with LNG at the station, but eventually, Q8 will offer 100% fossil-free liquefied biogas (LBG). The station will be able to accommodate all types of trucks. It will be fully automatic, requiring no operator.

KC LNG will deliver the station as a turnkey project. The technical solution will be delivered in collaboration with the Dutch company LIQAL.

The LNG station in Padborg will be part of a European network, as IDS (International Diesel Service) has 25 other locations that also offer LNG.
