The Portfolio Services team of CBRE Belgium assisted Shell with the opening of its first LNG filling station for trucks in Belgium. The station, located in Herstal, also includes a diesel part.
In addition to the search for location and support during negotiations until the signing of the contract, the Portfolio Services team of CBRE Belgium also manages the administrative side of the station, including the payment of rents and taxes. CBRE Global Workplace Solutions is responsible for the facility management of the diesel station.
The Herstal LNG filling station is located on the E313, a major way for international road transport. The station has a capacity of 3.5 kt of LNG and can supply 150 trucks with LNG daily. In the coming months, Shell plans to introduce more new LNG filling stations in Belgium.
LNG is obtained by cooling natural gas to -162°C, which reduces the volume and thus facilitates gas storage. Fuel is not only thirty percent cheaper than diesel, it is also less polluting, less noisy and helps reduce CO2 emissions.
