John Lewis builds new biomethane gas station

摘要

The John Lewis Partnership has announced that it is to build a dedicated biomethane gas filling station for its HGV delivery trucks. The move comes in support of the retailer's stated ambition to stop using fossil fuels across its entire 4,800 strong transport fleet by 2030. The new biomethane gas filling station, serving about 120 Waitrose HGVs, will be built in conjunction with Air Liquide and will open at the Partnership's head office in Bracknell in December, making it the business's first on-site gas filling station. It will enable the conversion of the Bracknell Waitrose fleet to biomethane and complement gas filling stations already in use near to John Lewis and Waitrose regional distribution centres in Leyland, Lancashire, and in Northampton.
