Transport companies that use the REEFUEL (bio-LNG and e-LNG) alternative fuel that is manufactured in Germany are able to reduce their emissions and thus help improve climate protection.

Start of construction in Burghaun: A group of top executives, along with politicians from the German state of Hesse, attended a REEFUELERY groundbreaking ceremony yesterday for one of the world’s largest production facilities for biofuels and synthetic fuels.

Announcement

Solothurn, 3 March 2023 – Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is very important in terms of ensuring a secure supply of energy from natural gas. On the one hand, it offers an alternative to natural gas imports from Russia, while on the other hand it can be used to generate electricity locally in combined heat and power (CHP) plants. The latter aspect can also help stabilise the power grid if the electricity supply from conventional power stations gets too low. Regio Energie Solothurn is now incorporating LNG into its gas supply network for the first time.
