Westfalen Group switches to Bio-LNG

The initiative will be rolled out alongside revis bioenergy GmbH and includes the establishment of further bio-LNG stations.

The Westfalen Group will be relying on CO2-neutral bio-LNG (liquefied biogas) for its mobility customers in the freight forwarding and logistics sector.

With immediate effect, the fuel produced from liquefied bio-methane is replacing its fossil counterpart at the four Westfalen LNG filling stations in Münster, Herford, Herne and Cologne. All commercially available LNG vehicles can also be refueled with Bio-LNG without any problems.

Westfalen will provide its customers with proof of the actual CO2 savings depending on the amount of Bio-LNG used.

"Bio-LNG allows CO2 savings of up to 100%. In addition, hardly any nitrogen oxides and particulate matter are released during combustion. This makes the fuel very attractive for our customers who want to offer their freight services in a more sustainable way," said Andre Stracke, Head of Mobility at Westfalen.

The switch to bio-LNG is made possible by a cooperation between Westfalen and revis bioenergy GmbH that was established in March 2023. The Münster-based company produces bio-methane exclusively from waste and residual materials from regional sources. Bio-LNG is produced when bio-methane is liquefied using pressure and cold.
