The facility will have refuelling capacity for 1,000 gas trucks daily once fully operational. On-site truck parking will support local fleet deployments across the region. The station represents Gasrec’s first large-scale public-access bio-LNG facility in the North West and expands its national refuelling network.
Gasrec currently operates 18 refuelling stations nationally. The company’s 2027 target is to achieve infrastructure capable of refuelling approximately 6,000 trucks per day — a three-fold capacity increase within 18 months. The longer-term 2030 ambition is to deploy infrastructure refuelling 15,000 gas trucks daily, saving an estimated 650,000 tonnes of carbon annually.
James Westcott, Chief Commercial Officer at Gasrec, stated that the Warrington station forms the next step in building a national refuelling backbone, providing road transport operators the infrastructure needed to transition to bio-LNG. He emphasised that bio-LNG reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to diesel whilst offering lower operational costs and performance characteristics comparable to diesel, enabling fleet transition without operational compromise.
Omega Business Park is a 775-acre distribution hub with direct M62 access and M6 connectivity, positioning it to service Liverpool and the Merseyside logistics cluster. The location addresses a critical gap in North West refuelling infrastructure for biomethane-fuelled heavy transport.
Recent facility openings include Hams Hall (end of 2025) and the flagship site at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT), Europe’s largest gas refuelling station. An Avonmouth facility is scheduled for 2027, with ongoing assessment of bio-CNG opportunities aligned to local demand.
Gas truck registrations are rising as operators increasingly adopt the technology for reliability and range capabilities superior to competing alternative fuels. Bulk transport operators managing the M6 corridor and regional distribution networks now have expanding refuelling infrastructure supporting fleet decarbonisation strategies without range or performance constraints.
