The Department currently has no plans to support the installation of liquid petroleum gas and natural gas refuelling stations on the road network.

Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) has a well-established refuelling network across the UK; it is reported at https://www.filllpg.co.uk/ that there are 1,937 confirmed stations.

There is an established refuelling network for Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) within the UK for HGVs, which are the only road vehicles currently utilising LNG as an alternative fuel in the UK. Industry have advised that they have plans in support of the creation of new refuelling points across the strategic road network, should demand for LNG increase.
