Gas Networks Ireland, Circle K add two new public CNG stations

The new locations in Dublin and Limerick City are the country’s third and fourth publicly-accessible, fast-fill CNG stations.

Gas Networks Ireland and Circle K are expanding the compressed natural gas (CNG) supply for heavy vehicle transport in Ireland with the opening of two new filling stations on Circle K’s forecourts at Clonshaugh in Dublin, and Ballysimon Road in Limerick City.

The new locations are the country’s third and fourth publicly-accessible, fast-fill CNG stations, according to Gas Networks Ireland.

Located to support prominent haulier routes, the stations have the capacity to fill 50 heavy good vehicles (HGVs) a day, with each fill taking no more than five minutes.

"We are excited to unveil the latest CNG stations at Circle K Clonshaugh and Circle K Ballysimon Road, further strengthening our natural gas capabilities alongside our Dublin Port and Cashel stations.

Expanding our network of CNG refuelling stations as well as continuing to develop our EV charging facilities are both key elements within our overall sustainability agenda and we intend to make further progress in this regard in the months and years ahead,” said Jonathan Diver, Senior Director Fuels at Circle K.

Circle K is Ireland’s leading forecourt and convenience retailer with 410 sites across the island of Ireland.
