Grupo HAM, Limagas open first LNG station in Peru

The new company seeks to become a Latin American leader in gas and plans to open between 10 and 15 refueling stations by December 2025.

Grupo HAM and Limagas have created a new joint-venture called EVA (Energía de Valor Ambiental), with the aim of promoting the adoption of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) in Peru.

Both companies joined forces to support the transition of road transport as well as passenger cars, light vehicles and trucks. As a result, 10 to 15 refueling stations are expected to be opened by December 2025.

Recently, its first LNG refueling station was inaugurated next to the city of Mala, on the Pan-American Highway South, a road system that links almost all the countries of the continent.

The EVA Mala LNG station is characterized by its new concept, called Benito, which includes installation and start-up in less than 24 hours, reducing construction time. The gas station has an 80m3 tank that integrates two dispensers, allowing LNG refueling for heavy vehicles and all types of trucks.

With the creation of EVA, Grupo HAM and Limagas seek to develop an important growth strategy and take advantage of the possibilities offered by the country to promote the use of natural gas vehicles to become a leader in the Latin American energy sector.
