A unit of Germany’s Uniper SE has secured a supply agreement for LNG made with renewable natural gas (RNG) for its heavy vehicle fueling network, calling imports of the super-chilled fuel “no longer competitive” for decarbonizing the transportation industry.

German firm Revis Bioenergy GmbH plans to begin supplying Uniper’s Liqvis GmbH later this year with liquefied natural gas made from methane captured from organic sources, also called bio-LNG.

Liqvis operates a growing number of LNG filling stations across key logistics hubs in Germany. After introducing bio-LNG, management said the firm plans to replace all of its distributed fuel with RNG.
