These agreements are the result of the ongoing commercialization program initiated last quarter of 2021 and demonstrate the market's interest for the project. Trucks loading at Rubis Terminal's site in Reichstett will be carried out at a competitive price and under optimum conditions of flexibility and security. The location is strategically chosen and will facilitate access to LNG for an area covering eastern France, southern Germany and neighboring regions, such areas being currently far from the main LNG supply points.

 

LNG helping the energy transition
The facility will be supplied with LNG by rail from Elengy's Fos sur Mer LNG terminals. Using train instead of road transport reduces air pollution by a factor 8 . The project will foster the connectivity between retail LNG infrastructures in Europe and contributing significantly to secure LNG supply for the industrial and transport sectors. By replacing diesel, LNG is helping to significantly reduce environmental pollution: elimination of sulphur (SOx) and particulate emissions and 80% reduction in nitrogen (NOx). Moreover, using LNG for road transport instead of diesel will reduce carbon intensity by 15%.The facility will be supplied with LNG by rail from Elengy's Fos sur Mer LNG terminals.

This solution contributes to accelerating the energy transition of the transport sector by bringing the LNG supply closer to the clients in the heart of Europe
