Romania’s clean energy future took a step forward on November 13th as Vulcan unveiled the nation’s first multi-fuel service station in Pecica, providing LNG, BioLNG, CNG, and Bio-CNG options.
Located in Pecica, Arad County, the new station represents a crucial step towards a more sustainable energy future and a significant hub for Romania’s transportation sector.
A noteworthy opening ceremony was held in the presence of representatives from the Romanian Government, the Romanian Parliament, the Arad County Council, the Pecica Municipality, and the FPPG.
Among the attendees was Italian Ambassador H.E. Alfredo Maria Durante Mangoni, who voiced his support for Vulcan’s investment. He emphasized the shared goal of Italy and Romania to promote biofuels and the necessity of a Romanian BIO supply chain for sustainable decarbonization.
Costantino Amadei, Vulcangas Romania’s CEO, said:
Vulcan is confident in Romania’s future. As a major European logistics hub, it needs an LNG and Bio-LNG network. Romania will also lead the way in Southeast Europe’s biomethane production, thanks to its abundant agricultural resources.
We would like to thank Iveco, a leading manufacturer of heavy-duty vehicles powered by LNG and Bio-LNG, for their collaboration. Their vehicle lines, based on proven and cost-effective technologies, offer effective solutions for decarbonizing heavy-duty transport. In particular, the use of Bio-LNG significantly reduces CO₂ emissions, contributing to more sustainable transportation.
The opening of these service stations aligns with the entry into force of the ETS2 regulation, scheduled for 2025, which includes monitoring and reporting activities for emissions.
A greener future for transportation
With the opening of the Pecica station, Vulcan reaffirms its commitment to promoting innovative and sustainable energy solutions, in line with Romania’s environmental goals.
LNG and Bio-LNG represent an ideal choice for long-haul transportation, helping to reduce air pollution and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Moreover, the refueling infrastructure for these clean fuels is undergoing rapid and significant expansion, thanks also to our VCARD system, ensuring an efficient experience for hauliers
