Natural gas filling stations

In order to be able to prove a uniformly high safety level for natural gas filling stations, TÜV AUSTRIA has developed a catalogue of requirements for inspection and monitoring, based on technical experience on the one hand and on the above-mentioned legal requirements on the other.

TÜV AUSTRIA also offers the corresponding inspections. If the test result is positive, the certificate “TÜV AUSTRIA Tested Natural Gas Filling Station” is issued.

This catalogue of requirements enables installers and operators of natural gas filling stations to compile the necessary technical documentation in advance in accordance with the requirements of an official approval procedure.

Currently, natural gas is stored in compressed form at 200 bar in steel tanks as CNG (Compressed Natural Gas).

With natural gas engines, emission values for individual pollutants are achieved that are not yet attainable with conventional petrol or diesel technology. In terms of climate protection, natural gas propulsion is also advantageous compared to diesel engines, despite the higher consumption, because natural gas has an extremely low carbon content.
