LPG Stations in berlin in

If you travel by car in Berlin, at some gas stations you will find indications that, in addition to gasoline or diesel, you can also fill up with LPG, also called Autogas. LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas, i.e. compressed liquefied petroleum gas. In the end, it is still a fossil fuel. The environmentally friendly version of LPG is bio-LPG, which is produced by gasification of biomass. It can also be used on the road in Berlin, but production is still below demand although it continues to increase.

According to production statistics, only 10% of the filling stations in Berlin would offer 100% bioGLP. With a range of our car of about 500 kilometers, the stop at the pump if you want to use only BioGLP must be planned precisely. Southern Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, for example, is a blank space with no bioGLP filling stations. In the area around Berlin there are also few filling stations for bio-gas.

The price of normal LPG and bioGLP at filling stations remains the same, but that changes with the CO2 tax on fossil fuels. Because from January 1, 2021, gasoline, diesel and LPG have to pay a tax of €25 per ton of CO2, but not bio-LPG. That adds about five cents per liter to LPG and as the price of pollution rights will continue to rise in the coming years, the price difference for the biological alternative will also grow.

"BioGLP production in the European Union is expected to multiply in the coming years from the 200 000 tonnes produced in 2020 so it remains a very valid alternative to refuel at your filling station."
