Berlin-based Liquind announced it would start building ten LNG stations after it had been granted about 3.3 million Euros ($4.03m) from the EU Commission’s Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) funding program.

In total, the project that is expected to “significantly” improve the LNG distribution network in Germany and offer an alternative fuel to diesel will cost about 16.4 million Euros ($20m).

The LNG infrastructure will consist of multimodal distribution terminals at inland ports and refueling stations for trucks and inland waterway vessels.

According to Liquind, new terminals are being built along important European transport corridors, including in the metropolitan areas of Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt and along Germany’s most important waterways.

The refuelling stations and cargo handling hubs in Duisburg and Mannheim, which are already being planned, are expected to start operating at the end of 2018.
