CURRENT EU REGULATORY FRAMEWORK IS SUPPORTING
LNG DEVELOPMENTS IN ROAD TRANSPORT ACTIVITIES

LNG refueling stations in EU
Source: LNG Blue corridor project
• EU directive on “Alternative Fuel Infrastructure for transport” encouraging member states in developing action plans to speed up infrastructure deployment
• EU funded “Blue corridor” project + other private initiatives boosting the number of LNG refueling stations
• Current EU stats:
o ~40 LNG refueling stations in operations (of which ~10 opened in 2014 incl. Veurne & Kallo in BE)
o ~1500 LNG trucks on the roads
o Strongest market growth in UK, NL, Spain, and Sweden. Most projects developed in cooperation with large truck fleet owners
• France, Germany, Italy and Belgium (+ Eastern Europe) are still lagging in terms of refueling infrastructure, limiting pan-European routes for road transport

CONCLUSIONS
• Unlocking the potential of natural gas as a fuel means developing
refueling infrastructure
> First steps were taken with strong support from TEN-T funding
> Extra support thanks to “Alternative fuel infrastructure directive”
> More infrastructure needed to develop markets
> (bio-)CNG & (bio-)LNG refueling stations
> Bunkering infrastructures for maritime transport
• Infrastructure is nothing without NGV’s (ships and trucks / cars)
> Extra efforts needed in:
> Innovation in power trains (400+ HP engine for heavy-duty trucks)
> Retrofit / new-build of LNG vessels
