Slovenia gets first LNG filling station

Slovenian company Energetika Ljubljana said it had opened the country’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) filling station for trucks as part of a plant to reduce carbon emissions.

The construction of the LNG station located in the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, is a Slovenian-Spanish partnership project involving companies Enos, Energetika Ljubljana and HAM Criogénica.

The project is co-financed by the European Union.

According to a statement by Energetika Ljubljana, the opening of the first LNG station, which took place on November 30, is just the beginning of promoting LNG as fuel for transport in Slovenia.

In the first quarter of 2018, Energetika Ljubljana is also launching the distribution of natural gas from the LNG storage in the municipality of Grosuplje, the statement said.
