LNG

Bio-LNG produced from biomethane and liquefied at the Gate terminal in Rotterdam will be supplied by Uniper to Q1 Energy as a lower-emissions fuel for Germany’s heavy-duty transport sector. Uniper will act as owner, importer and distributor of the bio-LNG, managing the full supply chain and claiming the associated greenhouse gas quota credits, while Q1 Energy will handle delivery to service stations based on demand. The bio-LNG is transported in ISO tank containers from Rotterdam to a central storage site in Germany, from where Q1 distributes it to filling stations. In the production process, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide are removed to generate gas equivalent in quality to natural gas. The resulting biomethane can be fed into the gas grid for delivery to any offtake point or used within existing LNG infrastructure.
