Molgas to launch a dozen LNG/CNG stations in France

Molgas recently kicked off its two-year deployment plan with the opening of a first site in the region of Île-de-France, with a second location coming soon in Pays de la Loire.

Molgas, leader in the energy service sector for liquified natural gas (LNG) in Europe, plans to build a dozen of gas natural vehicle (GNV) filling stations in France in the next two years, announced the Managing Director of Molgas in France, Laurent Maalem.

The sites will be located along strategic road and highway networks, and distribute LNG and compressed natural gas (CNG).

Molgas recently kicked off this deployment plan with the opening of a first LNG/CNG station in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, in the Essonne department, region of Île-de-France. Located in a strategic point for long-distance road hauliers in France and Europe, the station has four refuelling lanes adapted to heavy goods vehicles, two LNG distributors and a double CNG distributor.

In addition to the Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois station, a second gas filling station is being developed in Donges, in the Loire-Atlantique department, region of Pays de la Loire, reports Gaz-Mobilité.fr.

At European scale, Molgas operates about twenty NGV filling stations across Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Italy. Some twenty new LNG/CNG stations are under construction or at a very advanced stage of planning in these countries, according to Laurent Maalem.
