Creating a leading Bio-CNG infrastructure platform

Fully integrated biomethane sourcing, refuelling and certificates company

Direct ownership of 16 public access stations

Fully equity-funded for doubling refuelling capacity by end-2028

Improved access to external growth financing

Transaction details

  • Funds managed by Foresight transfer ownership of 15 stations to CNGF, bringing the total to 16 stations (incl. 1 station in-build)
  • ReFuels transfers its 49% share of RTFS, giving CNG Fuels 78.4% ownership of the biomethane sourcing company
  • Approximately GBP 32 million in existing Foresight loans are deemed repaid, leaving CNG Fuels with no external interest-bearing debt outside of equipment leases
  • Plan to build at least 9 grid-connected stations the next three years complemented by mobile refuelling stations (MRS)
  • ReFuels will own 40% CNG Fuels with opportunity for share distributions up to 55% based on the valuation of CNG Fuels in certain future value realisation scenarios
  • Expected closing during April 2025

Simplified structure and partnership with Foresight

1 Including shareholder loan instruments of GBP 150.15 million from CNG Fuels carrying 10% coupon p.a.

2 Including shareholder loan instruments of GBP 15.95 million from CNG Fuels carrying 10% coupon p.a.

3 Subject to terms negotiated with the relevant customers which may vary, CNG Fuels seeks to ensure there is full pass through of gas price without risk for CNG Fuels

Strong strategic rationale

Former structure

  • Indirect station ownership through JV and direct ownership in certificates
  • Asymmetric returns and incentives
  • Low visibility on cash flow generation and distributions
  • Barriers to external funding
  • Lower real growth capacity

Illustrative new station economics

13 Assuming compression margin of GBP ~0.26 per kg, Station gradually increasing to OPEX GBP ~0.4m p.a in year 9. Steady state volume dispensed at 28 million kg Bio-CNG achieved in year 9. All figures exclude group overheads. 1 Expected IRR for next four stations

Station capex GBP ~8m

Internal rate of return1 Payback 25-30%

~5 years

Mobile refuelling stations accelerating adoption

Increased demand for CNG Fuels' proprietary mobile refuelling stations (MRS)

A cost-effective and flexible solution until a CNG Fuels station opens in the area

Unlocking truck orders and may in some cases be stationed as long-term solution
