CNG stations in operation
There are now 12 CNG stations operational in Ireland, 9 public and 3 private. Each public station has the capacity to fill between 50 - 80 Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) per day, with each fill taking on average between 5 and 10 minutes. Gas Networks Ireland is committed to enabling sustainable transport and is working with some of the most prominent fuel forecourt operators and haulage companies throughout Ireland to provide a more sustainable transport fuel to this sector. With stations strategically located in Cavan, Dublin, Limerick, Tipperary, Kildare, Cork and Clare, Gas Networks Ireland is enabling new cleaner transport corridors for Irish freight operators and making the alternative fuel option of low carbon gas a reality for Irish transport.
By gradually replacing natural gas with Biomethane/BioCNG, Gas Networks Ireland is working to deliver a net-zero carbon gas network by 2045. Contact your local forecourt operator to find out if they supply BioCNG.

Delivering the CNG station network
Gas Networks Ireland is leading the development of a new, cleaner heavy goods vehicle (HGV) and bus transport network, to support Ireland in achieving its carbon reduction targets and to give Irish fleet operators a cleaner and reliable fuel choice. There are currently eight CNG stations operational in Ireland and a further pipeline of stations are in planning and development.
Under the Causeway and Green Connect projects, in addition to facilitating the rollout of a network of public CNG refuelling forecourts, we are supporting the delivery of multiple private stations for customers that wish to refuel on their own premises. To achieve this, we will continue to build partnerships with some of Ireland's most prominent and well-known forecourt operators and haulage companies.
Public CNG stations
Public CNG stations are stations typically located at existing fuel forecourts and are accessible to anyone wishing to refuel a gas-powered vehicle. To establish a new CNG station, a connection to the gas network is required. This is provided by Gas Networks Ireland. The gas connection will typically be a low-pressure connection, however, a high-pressure connection can also be made depending on specific station requirements and location.
Private CNG stations
Private CNG Stations are available for fleet operators and hauliers who want to avail of their own on-site refuelling depots. Private CNG stations allow those who require more control over their refuelling patterns to do so in their own locations. Ideally, private stations should be located in proximity to the current gas network infrastructure. Each private station can be designed to individual customer requirements, with specifications based on a number of factors including, fleet size, volume of gas required and nature of business.
