Naturgy opens its first CNG public station in Toledo, central Spain
The Mayor of Toledo Milagros Tolón, the Minister of Economy, Business and Employment Patricia Franco, the General Director of Industry, Energy and Mines José Luis Cabezas, and the Director of Customer Service and Marketing of Naturgy José Luis Gil, have opened a new natural gas refueling facility in Toledo, located at an AVIA service station in the Santa María de Benquerencia industrial park. The opening was also attended by representatives of the main brands that commercialize NGVs (SEAT, Fiat Professional, Volkswagen and Iveco), which exhibited some of their models.
This facility is the first of the three CNG public stations that will be opened in the coming months in Castilla-La Mancha, one in Ciudad Real and one in Albacete. Currently, the company has three other public stations operating in the Community: in Guadalajara capital, in Alovera (Guadalajara) and in Motilla del Palancar (Cuenca). With these openings, Naturgy will be present in all the provinces of the community.
The commissioning of the new station is part of the company’s project to promote green mobility, whose goal is to encourage the use of natural gas as fuel as the best sustainable alternative to fossil fuels derived from oil. “This natural gas station represents another step for the company in its commitment to advance in the transition to clean energy mobility that will contribute to improving air quality and people’s health,” said José Luis Gil.
The new station is also part of the NGV refueling development plan led by Naturgy and SEAT, which includes promoting natural gas through innovation projects, infrastructure expansion and joint commercial promotion of vehicles and natural gas.
Naturgy (formerly Gas Natural Fenosa) is one of the main supporters of sustainable mobility and a pioneer in the promotion of natural gas in the Iberian Peninsula, a region that has experienced great growth in the adoption of CNG and LNG as transportation fuels. In this extremely encouraging scenario, AltFuels Iberia 2019 will take place on 11-14 June at IFEMA Trade Center, Madrid. It will be an event consisting of first level conferences and exhibition of vehicles of all kinds, refueling stations, components, plants, road and marine engines, as well as the entire universe of the alternative fuels industry with the latest technological developments, multiple options for networking, business and new advances.
