Total has inaugurated France’s largest filling station exclusively dedicated to natural gas vehicles (NGV) and bio-CNG, with the onsite presence of Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, French Minister Delegate for Transport.
Located at the heart of the logistics platform of Gennevilliers, the second largest fluvial port in Europe, this station is now open 24/7 to professionals (B2B) and B2C customers. It will be operated by Total for the next 10 years.
This concession has been attributed to Total by Sigeif Mobilités (a semi-public company founded by Sigeif and the Caisse des Dépôts) through a tender. It will support the development of new mobilities in the Île-de-France region and will become a strategic location for NGV and bio-CNG supply for the Grand Paris area (which includes the City of Paris & its 130 surrounding cities) and beyond.
This Total-branded station will distribute compressed natural gas (CNG) and will be supplied to the site by GRTgaz, for the first time in France through its high-pressure gas delivery network. The station will be able to distribute up to 100% of bio-CNG, as users have the possibility to choose and adjust – directly at the pump and contractually for B2B customers – between several rates of biomethane incorporation.
