LIQVIS

What LIQVIS does

LIQVIS GmbH, founded in 2015 and headquartered (as of 2025) in Lohne, Germany, builds and operates a network of LNG (liquefied natural gas) refueling stations for heavy goods vehicles. Its core technology centers on cryogenic handling of LNG cooled to approximately -161°C, reducing volume to about 1/600th of its gaseous state, and includes proprietary assets such as the LIQVIS Token and LIQVIS-Card payment systems alongside deployable mobile refueling solutions. The company is mid-transition to Bio-LNG produced from agricultural waste and residues, in partnership with revis bioenergy GmbH, EnviTec Bioenergie Güstrow GmbH, and (post-acquisition) its parent EnviTec Biogas.

The business operates a physical asset network of 15 company stations across Germany and 3 in France, sited along major motorways (A1, A3, A4, A5, A7, A9, A14, A61, A2) at Autohof truck stops, with 24/7 self-service dispensing and uniform German pricing of 0.840 EUR/kg net. Revenue is generated primarily through transactional LNG and Bio-LNG fuel sales, supplemented by infrastructure partnership and managed-services arrangements with filling station operators and oil companies that host LIQVIS equipment on their premises (a partner-station model requiring at least 3,000 m² of free space). Customers are freight forwarders, charterers, and fleet operators, accessed via a direct enterprise field sales force (led by Senior Sales Manager Carmen Büllesfeld) and indirectly through 15+ accepted third-party fleet cards including DKV, UTA, Hoyer-Card, Eurowag, BayWa, AS 24, and MOLGAS.

The company was acquired by EnviTec Biogas AG in February 2025, with its French operations run through wholly-owned subsidiary LIQVIS FRANCE S.A.S. EU CEF co-financing under the LNG4Trucks program (2016) supports a stated ambition of 200+ (Bio-)LNG truck refueling locations across European corridors by 2030, and the company cites emissions benefits of up to 20% CO2 reduction with LNG and up to 90% with Bio-LNG versus diesel, alongside claims of 95% lower particulate, 85% lower NOx, and 50% lower noise emissions.

Revenue model

1. LNG Fuel Sales: LIQVIS sells LNG as a fuel alternative to diesel at their network of filling stations. Pricing is per kilogram (EUR/kg), with consistent pricing across German stations (0.840 EUR/kg net) and varying prices in France. Revenue is generated through direct fuel sales at company-operated and partner-operated stations.
2. Infrastructure Provision and Partnership: LIQVIS provides LNG infrastructure with necessary infrastructure at favorable conditions compared to diesel. They develop market partnerships to establish required filling stations regionally and locally, providing the LNG volumes and terminal capacities needed.
3. Bio-LNG Supply: As of mid-2023, LIQVIS began gradually switching to Bio-LNG produced from agricultural waste and residues. This provides premium sustainable fuel options with up to 84% reduction in greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuels.

Product overview

LIQVIS operates a network of LNG and Bio-LNG refueling stations for heavy goods transport (trucks) across Germany and France. The core offering consists of LNG fuel (liquid natural gas cooled to -161°C, reducing volume to 1/600th) as a diesel alternative with lower emissions. LIQVIS offers its proprietary LIQVIS Card (in partnership with DKV Mobility) and LIQVIS Token for cashless payments, while also accepting 14 partner fleet cards (DKV, UTA, Hoyer-Card, Eurowag, BayWa-Card, Alternoil, LogPay, OnTurtle, Romac Fuels, Vulcangas, The Fuel Company, AS 24, AXEGAZ, e100, MOLGAS). The company is transitioning to Bio-LNG produced from agricultural waste and residues, offering up to 84% CO2 reduction versus fossil fuels. Stations are strategically located along major European motorways (A1, A3, A4, A5, A7, A9, A14, A61, A2) at truck stops.
