A futuristic filling station will be built along the A28 motorway between Hoogeveen and Beilen in the Netherlands. Motorists will be able to tank up their cars with biodiesel, PPO (or B100, pure plant oil), ethanol-based petrol (E10 and E85), natural gas, and biogas.
The refuelling station will generate its own energy, using solar collectors, wind turbines, a rapeseed oil generator and thermal heat.
An information centre on renewable energy, flora and fauna, and the consequences of global warming will be built alongside this new refuelling station.
This project is initiated by entrepreneur Edward Doorten, 35, of the Doorten car company and filling station in Pesse.
The futuristic refuelling station should be ready in September next year.
