Construction begins on Warwickshire biomethane refuelling station

The project, led by renewable fuel provider Gasrec, will deliver one of the company’s largest and most advanced refuelling facilities to date, strategically positioned near the M42 and the key logistics routes of England's Midlands.
The new Hams Hall station is expected to be completed and operational by the end of 2025.
Once operational, the site will have capacity to refuel hundreds of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) per day using biomethane.
The facility will feature multiple high-speed dispensers, advanced storage systems and the infrastructure needed to ensure quick and efficient vehicle turnaround for fleet operators.
This development supports the UK government’s long-term goals to phase out new diesel HGVs by 2040 and promote cleaner alternatives across the commercial transport sector, added the organisation.
Biomethane is already recognised under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) and has gained traction among major logistics companies due to its potential to cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 85% on a well-to-wheel basis.
Gasrec’s Chief Executive, Rob Wood, said the new site reflects a clear industry shift towards low-carbon fuels.
“Hams Hall is a vital step in expanding our national infrastructure to support the transition to net-zero logistics. We're responding to real, growing demand from transport companies that want to decarbonise without compromising on performance or range.”
The Hams Hall station will serve operators based at the nearby National Distribution Park and surrounding freight corridors.
It follows a series of recent investments by Gasrec to expand its biomethane refuelling network at major logistics hubs across the country.
Companies such as Asda, Tesco, and DHL are already deploying biomethane-powered fleets to reduce both emissions and fuel costs, supported by growing refuelling availability nationwide.
