OG Clean Fuels is further expanding its European network with the acquisition of eleven (Bio-)CNG filling stations from the Italian operator X3. According to the Heerenveen-based company, the acquisition represents “an important step in its European growth strategy” and further strengthens OG Clean Fuels’ international position.

Following last year’s acquisition of Proviridis in France, OG Clean Fuels is continuing its European growth strategy. With the addition of eleven stations, the network grows to around 400 locations, spread across the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, France and Italy. In Italy, the company is expanding its presence from four to fifteen stations, thereby further consolidating OG Clean Fuels’ position in a strategic market for European transport. This growth supports the Dutch company’s ambition to achieve a turnover of around 150 million euros by 2026.

“This acquisition strengthens our European network and significantly increases our impact in Italy, a key market for connecting crucial transport corridors,” says Marcel Borger, CEO of OG Clean Fuels. “This step brings us closer to our ambition of building a European infrastructure that makes clean transport accessible everywhere.”

Operating internationally

The acquired stations are mainly located in northern Italy, including in La Spezia, Amoretti, Carpiano, Rodengo, Vicenza, Lazzago, Fiorenzuola, Avigliana, Massa, Gallarate and Bastia Umbra. Thanks to their strategic locations along key logistics routes, they are set to strengthen the link between Italy, France, Germany and other European markets, enabling transport operators to operate internationally more efficiently and sustainably.

The stations now acquired in Italy already offer CNG. Following the acquisition, OG Clean Fuels will gradually upgrade the sites to 100% Bio-CNG. According to the company, this will give customers access to a more sustainable fuel solution with lower CO₂ emissions, further accelerating the transition to cleaner road transport.

Ambition

The acquisition contributes to OG Clean Fuels’ long-term ambition to expand to 700 locations across seven European countries by 2030. The integration will take place in phases, including branding, digital services and the customer offering.

OG Clean Fuels is a provider of clean fuels for road transport in Europe and operates a network of more than 400 sites in the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Italy and France. The fuels on offer include Bio-CNG, Bio-LNG, HVO100, hydrogen and electric charging.
