EnviTec Biogas opens new Bio-LNG filling station in Holdorf

Ideal location, infrastructure and connectivity: the new Bio-LNG filling station of EnviTec Biogas AG offers optimal conditions for the growing logistics demand in the southern Oldenburg region. With the newly inaugurated site in Holdorf, the company is expanding its nationwide filling station network for the climate-friendly fuel Bio-LNG, while at the same time sending a strong signal for sustainable mobility in heavy-duty transport.

“Holdorf benefits from its direct connection to the major transport routes of the A1 motorway and the B214 federal road. The existing infrastructure of the service area was also a key factor in selecting this location,” says Olaf von Lehmden, CEO of the biogas all-rounder operating from Lohne and Saerbeck. As an integrated provider of Bio-LNG, EnviTec Biogas AG covers the entire biogas value chain – from production and upgrading of biomethane to liquefaction and the marketing of the renewable fuel Bio-LNG via its own subsidiary LIQVIS. The company produces around 500 GWh of fuel-grade biomethane annually in its own plants. 

Strengthening regional infrastructure for alternative fuels

“With our filling station in Holdorf, we are adding another key point to the map of Bio-LNG supply. Our goal is to offer transport companies such as the nearby Schockemöhle Logistics a reliable and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels,” explains von Lehmden during the inauguration ceremony.

“We are very pleased about this new facility, as it makes a significant contribution to broadening the region’s energy supply and thereby also helps to safeguard jobs,” says Dr Wolfgang Krug, Mayor of Holdorf, in his speech. “The fact that this new and highly modern facility has been established in our region goes beyond the functional purpose of a filling station and symbolises Holdorf’s ability to adapt to the energy transition,” he adds. With the new site in southern Oldenburg, EnviTec Biogas is not only strengthening regional infrastructure for alternative fuels but also supporting the transformation of the transport sector towards greater climate protection and security of supply.

“We are currently significantly expanding the share of LNG trucks in our fleet. In addition to the climate benefits of Bio-LNG, we benefit from the long-term price stability of this green fuel and, of course, from its regional availability right on our doorstep in Holdorf,” adds Ralph Borgmann, Managing Director of Paul Schockemöhle Logistics GmbH.

Bio-LNG is considered a key technology for reducing harmful CO₂ emissions, particularly in heavy-duty transport. The fuel is produced from upgraded biogas and – depending on the feedstock used – can achieve significant greenhouse gas savings compared to conventional diesel. “Each Bio-LNG truck saves around 200 tonnes of CO₂ per year compared to a conventional diesel truck, based on an annual mileage of approximately 125,000 km,” concludes von Lehmden. The Holdorf filling station has a storage capacity of up to 30,000 kg of LNG. Two dispensers allow for the simultaneous refuelling of two trucks. By supplying just 100 Bio-LNG trucks, the Holdorf site will contribute to saving around 20,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually – a tangible step towards the decarbonisation of transport.
