Chart delivers turnkey biogas fueling station for European trucking fleets

Chart Industries | September 3, 2025

Chart has successfully completed the largest liquefied biogas refuelling station in continental Europe. Located in Kallhäll, just outside Stockholm, Sweden the station was engineered and built at Chart’s European technology centre in Děčín, Czech Republic.

Designed to meet the demands of increased traffic of natural gas fuelled heavy-duty transport across the region, the station features four LBG and two CBG (Compressed Biogas) dispensers, along with cryogenic tanks with a total liquid storage capacity of 130 m³. Modular construction maximizes shop building, which reduces cost, schedule and risk, minimizes time at site for installation and commissioning, while also providing a replicable model for further stations and capacity expansions.

The station is directly connected to a nearby biogas liquefaction plant operated by Gasum, enabling the use of locally produced renewable fuel on site. This integrated approach reduces transport-related emissions and supports the development of a circular economy of waste to energy.

Biogas is renewable natural gas produced through anaerobic digestion of organic waste. Like natural gas, it is liquefied to reduce its volume by a factor of 600 making it economical to transport and store. LNG and LBG are chemically very similar and can be used and blended interchangeably. LBG is therefore a sustainable alternative to LNG. In the heavy duty transportation sector using LBG instead of diesel provides potential CO₂ reductions of >80% on a well to wheel basis. LBG and LNG also virtually eliminate harmful emissions of NOx, SOx and particulates.

Through our cryogenic products and expertise Chart is at the forefront of the transition towards sustainable heavy haulage transport solutions. The Kallhäll project builds on dozens of previously completed LNG and LBG refuelling stations across the continent and we also offer fuelling solutions for liquid hydrogen powered vehicles.
