Person refuels alternative fuels

Hydrogen, autogas and natural gas fuel stations all over Europe

Wir beschränken uns nicht nur auf die Kraftstoffversorgung mit mineralischem Diesel oder Benzin. Neben Elektromobilität bieten wir weitere umweltschonende Kraftstoffe wie Wasserstoff, Autogas und Erdgas an. Auch AdBlue zur Reduzierung der Stickoxide gewinnt an Bedeutung und kann selbstverständlich mit der DKV Card bezogen werden.

Natural gas and autogas in comparison

Vergleichsgrafik

Natural gas (LNG, CNG) fuel

LNG (liquified natural gas) is a liquefied gas that is inherently odourless, non-corrosive and non-toxic. It consists of methane, ethane, propane and other hydrocarbons. For this reason, LNG is particularly suitable for long-distance transport.

CNG (compressed natural gas) is a compressed natural gas with an increasing proportion of biogas and a high calorific value.

Advantages of LNG and CNG

  • Natural gas is more cost-effective than diesel (tax benefits)
  • Refuelling takes no longer than with petrol or diesel
  • Engine noise is reduced
  • Emissions of sulfur dioxide, soot, and other particulates are almost completely avoided
  • Natural gas causes up to 23 percent less CO₂

Autogas (LPG) fuel

LPG (liquified petroleum gas) is a byproduct of oil refineries. Autogas is the most readily available alternative fuel.

Autogas fuel

Advantages of Autogas (LPG):

  • Autogas is much cheaper than conventional diesel or petrol
  • When it combusts, it creates much less pollution than conventional
  • Fuels, which results in lower exhaust emissions

Hydrogen fuel

Hydrogen is a refrigerated fuel and refuelling takes place under high pressure. In the vehicle’s fuel cell, hydrogen combines with oxygen from the atmosphere, which releases energy. All that comes out of the exhaust is water in the form of water vapour.

We plan to make increasing numbers of hydrogen fuel stations available in the DKV network in the coming years.

AdBlue fuel

AdBlue is a liquid that reduces emissions of damaging NOx and soot particles from modern diesel engines. An additional in-built catalytic converter uses AdBlue to change NOx into water vapour and nitrogen. AdBlue helps vehicles meet the emission standards applicable in Europe. AdBlue consists of 67.5 % demineralised water and 32.5% urea. It is non-toxic and almost odourless.
