Gasrec, Reynolds Logistics renew biomethane delivery contract
Reynolds Logistics has committed to a five-year biomethane delivery contract renewal with Gasrec.
The agreement will see Reynolds Logistics continue to collect biomethane from the Grain LNG terminal on the Isle of Grain and deliver it to Gasrec’s growing number of refuelling facilities around the UK.
Reynolds Logistics has taken delivery of two more ADR specified Volvo FM LNG 6x2 tractor units, taking the total amount of trucks working exclusively on the Gasrec contract to seven, with a further two units to follow later this year.
Paired with Gasrec’s tri-axle cryogenic tanker fleet, the trucks are currently delivering between 25 and 30 loads of biomethane each week. That number will rise throughout 2022, with Gasrec planning to open a further three open-access refuelling sites, as well as several more private customer facilities, to meet the growing demand from operators transitioning away from diesel.
“The relationship we have built with Gasrec over the past five years has gone from strength to strength,” said Andrew Reynolds, CEO of Reynolds Logistics, “and this new contract is a testament to that.
“With the demand for biomethane as a transport fuel increasing significantly over the past two years, activity on the contract is busier than ever. Gasrec has some very ambitious plans in place, and with the new investment with bp secured, the future looks exciting.”
James Westacott, chief commercial officer at Gasrec, commented: “Reynolds Logistics has proved a valuable, reliable, and trustworthy partner for us over the past five years.
“Looking ahead, we have some very ambitious growth targets to deliver and we are confident we have the right logistics partner on board to support us – and quite rightly with a modern fleet of biomethane-powered tractor units providing the bulk of the traction.”
