What you get from us
There are many stories about LNG. Some say its the stuff dreams are made of, others say its a devils brew, and there are many stories in between. Make no mistake – LNG is a complex business. However, its also a business with half a century of operating history so the issues are well understood and managed. It also has an unmatched safety record compared to the energy industry. Our mission is to educate and to remove false rumors and suspicions. We help those charged with regulating the LNG sector and the market players for it to become a solid fueling solution.
Education & Awareness
LNG is often a big unknown. And this lack of knowledge breeds unfounded rumors and myths. And yet, LNG is the best alternative fuel to diesel, and it’s also a very potent solution for your climate goals. We show you the issues, and you will be able to take educated business decisions.
Smart Market Rules
LNG goes from myth to an operational reality. This trend will amplify over the coming years. Ideally, this growing market would be regulated by intelligent, well-conceived, and fair regulations. The reality on the ground is often very different from that ideal state. We help.
Investors Contact
Market and administrative structures sometimes appear a bit byzantine in the different European countries. Some countries have developed truly bizarre customs and networks that are hard to penetrate. If you’re considering investing in European LNG, contact us.

LNG is the Fuel you Need
Ever since the diesel scandal broke, the transport industry must ask what the next big transportation technology is. E-Trucks are experimental, heavy, very expensive and have an extremely short range. Hydrogen is still more a research project rather than a solution fit for daily use. Diesel – the backbone of transport – looks like a risk today. You need something that does everything that diesel does – minus the pollution. You need LNG.
LNG vehicles are clean
To many, electric vehicles or hydrogen are the future. However, when it comes to moving heavy cargo over long distances, both are lacking range and ease of use. LNG shines here – long range, quick and easy fueling plus low emissions. Or even “no emissions” if you want that.
LNG vehicles are quiet
Sound pollution is to those exposed to it at least as dangerous as smog is. On the other side, being able to operate in quiet zones becomes essential to logistics companies. Be it in order to deliver supplies into inner cities at night or avoid driving restriction at bottlenecks.
LNG is the safest fuel ever
Every fuel has its dangers. Hydrocarbons burn. Batteries may explode for no apparent reason. Hydrogen makes everything it touches brittle and toxic. And it’s here, where LNG stands alone. LNG has the best safety record of any fuel in more than 50 years of operational history.
Even solutions designed to achieve climate targets must face the test of economics. They must also pass that test. It’s not important what technology might or not be the best. The only thing that matters what appropriate means can be employed in order to attain climate targets efficiently.

No waiting – fuel up with LNG now
Even in the most advanced countries, LNG as a fuel has been a very exotic option so far. Many countries have opened their first LNG fueling stations only recently. However, the last couple of years have been very exciting as LNG goes mainstream.
Availability of LNG
Fueling your truck with LNG still requires planning as there are only a few fueling stations on the continent. Station growth has picked up markedly now. The EU has pinned LNG on its colors and for the first time, you are can cover most routes with an LNG truck.
Economics of LNG
Let’s be frank – you won’t find 10-year depreciation tables for LNG trucks yet. Many tools you use for planning will require a bit more creativity. Not because of LNG but because new business takes time to establish its yardsticks. But we will help you with the assumptions.
What’s your company worth?
People care about what their image of your company and an army of activists, populist politicians, and rabid media establishments all crowned by crazy compliance rules makes this issue a minefield. That’s especially true for the hypercompetitive retail and consumer goods industry.
