CNG filling station on the M6

Heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) looking to use compressed natural gas (CNG) will soon be able to fill up close to junction 28 on the M6 in Lancashire, as CNG Fuels has secured planning permission for the UK's largest CNG filling station. It should be open later this year.

The new station will be the first high pressure connected, public-access CNG filling station in the UK, capable of refuelling five hundred plus HGVs per day, or 3,500 kg of CNG per hour. The filling station will also be able to supply 100% renewable biomethane (Bio-CNG). The station's first major customer will be Waitrose, part of John Lewis Partnership, which has a regional distribution centre less than a mile from Leyland LTS CNG station.
