Bonett has opened its 10th CNG filling station in Prague, a public self-service facility with non-stop operation located on Bělohorská St. in Prague’s Vypich. The company is the largest Czech seller of CNG and buys almost 100% biomethane for its customers. It has been building the infrastructure of its own refueling facilities since 2006 and currently owns and operates more than a fifth of all natural gas stations in the Czech Republic.
According to statistics from the Czech Gas Association, a total of 30,085 CNG-powered vehicles drove on Czech roads last year, of which 27,895 were passenger cars and vans (these are especially popular with delivery services). The rest are buses.
Václav Holovčák, member of the Board of Directors of the Bonett Group, emphasized the importance of the new station for CNG customers in Prague. “The new station shortens the distance for CNG customers. Until now, our nearest stations were located in Stodůlky and Barrandová. This is the tenth Bonett public station in the territory of Prague and at the same time the 52nd in the Czech Republic.”
Holovčák also highlighted the benefits of CNG vehicles, such as lower operating costs, reduced emissions, and quieter operation. “Today, the costs of running a CNG car are roughly 40% lower than conventional fuels. In addition, natural gas does not contain dust particles, produces less nitrogen and CO2 emissions, and the car’s operation is noticeably quieter. We are also betting on biomethane mobility and intensively looking for other options for the construction of new filling stations.”
