The British Compressed Gases Associated (BGCA) has introduced an extended Code of Practice to now include compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) due to a rise in demand.
The new guidance is joined by the revised CP41 Code of Practice, which was predominantly aimed at hydrogen (H2) vehicle fuelling.
The CP46, or ‘The Storage of Cryogenic Flammable Fluids,’ covers the bulk storage of fuel gas typically found in storage tanks alongside fuelling stations, whilst the addition of the modified CP41 sets out recognised engineering standards to support the management and operation of CNG and LNG fuelling stations.
It is understood that these new and amended guides have been born as a result of the surge in demand for both CNG and LNG vehicles across the haulage and fleet industries. Their properties are considered to be ‘greener’ than those of its diesel alternative, and an increasing number of fuel stations are beginning to introduce the necessary dispensing systems to their forecourts.
