Asda invests in new bio-LNG refuelling stations

Asda is investing in two new Bio-LNG refuelling facilities as part of plans to reduce its overall carbon emissions.

Working with Gasrec, a major fuel provider for commercial vehicles in the UK, the supermarket has introduced the new facilities in Warrington and Dartford. This means it now has thirteen fully operational Bio-LNG stations strategically located across the country.

With over 780 vehicles, Asda says it now operates the largest fleet of LNG fuelled trucks in the UK. Through the new infrastructure, the supermarket will continue its efforts to decarbonise its operations with the aim of achieving net zero operations by 2040.

Earlier this year, Asda revealed in its annual ESG report it had reduced operational carbon emissions (scope 1 & 2) in 2023 by 41% since 2015, with a target to achieve a 50% reduction by 2025.

John Rogerson, central fleet operations manager at Asda, said: “LNG trucks are currently the leading alternative fuel option for operators like ourselves and with over 780 LNG vehicles, we operate the largest fleet of LNG fuelled trucks in the UK.

“Our continued investment in a UK-wide LNG distribution network forms an essential part of our objective to reduce overall carbon emissions across our operations, and towards building a sustainable business for the future.”

The news follows Asda launching a new sustainability-linked enhancement to its supply chain finance scheme in partnership with HSBC UK.
