Accompanying the introduction of a new, clean fuel in Europe is very demanding on us personally and it requires a lot of time and patience. We held and hold countless meetings that lead to nowhere in order to get the few ones that will make a difference. This costs us money and this money comes from your membership fees as well as your donations.
LNG Austria is a non-profit association. The establishment of LNG (liquefied methane gas) as the backbone fuel for heavy transport will require the following means in order to serve the public good best. Any activities reserved for public authorities are not in the ambit of LNG Austria.
