OG Clean Fuels enters France with Proviridis deal, doubling down on a multi-fuel path to fossil-free transport
On 5 November 2025, OG Clean Fuels, Europe’s leading provider of clean fuels for road transport, announced its first step into France through the acquisition of Proviridis. The move extends the Dutch company’s footprint to nearly 400 clean fuel and EV charging locations across the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Sweden — and now France. The expansion marks a major milestone in OG Clean Fuels’ goal to accelerate the energy transition in mobility and reach €150 million in revenue by 2026.
“To enter the French market is a huge milestone for us,” says Jellina Waringa, responsible for Public Relations at OG Clean Fuels. “Not only because we add a country to our business but also because of the great potential we see in terms of value and impact.”
A multi-fuel strategy for the transport energy transition
OG Clean Fuels’ approach is built on a simple premise: there is no single solution for sustainable transport.
“Different vehicles, routes, and sectors require different fuels. And we make all of them accessible,” says Warringa.
The company’s multi-fuel offering includes Bio-CNG, Bio-LNG, HVO100, hydrogen, and electric charging. By combining these fuels, OG Clean Fuels helps drivers and logistics operators reduce emissions today — while preparing for the fossil-free mobility solutions of tomorrow.
“This approach ensures flexibility,” says Waringa. “It supports the transition to clean fuels step by step and accelerates the move towards truly fossil-free mobility across Europe." She adds: "We source our fuel directly from three biogas producers. This ensures the sustainability of our biofuels supply.”
Backed by investment to replace fossil diesel
The French expansion forms part of an ambitious growth strategy supported by Pioneer Point Partners, which invested €150 million in OG Clean Fuels earlier in 2025.
The company aims to reach €150 million in revenue by 2026, and continue investing over the next five years toward a target of €500 million — all with one clear goal: replace all fossil diesel in road transport. To that end, it is building a European clean-fuel network designed to make sustainable mobility infrastructure accessible to both private motorists and heavy-duty transport operators.
France: one of Europe’s fastest-growing Bio-CNG markets
France represents both a business opportunity and a policy-driven growth market for OG Clean Fuels.
“France understands that Bio-CNG can contribute to meeting climate goals,” says Waringa. “In particular, this can be seen in the continued rise of Bio-CNG trucks. France is one of the fastest growing markets for Bio-CNG for heavy-duty vehicles.”
The Greater Paris region has set ambitious targets for renewable fuels in transport, including large-scale adoption of Bio-CNG buses and heavy-goods vehicles. While the exact figures vary across programmes, the trend is clear: Bio-CNG is gaining traction as a practical, scalable way to decarbonise logistics.
“This perspective is similar to, for example, the German market,” Waringa notes. “There, Bio-CNG is considered a practical and effective way to achieve emission targets, and policies support the use of Bio-CNG as a renewable fuel.”
EVs are essential — but not the only path to clean mobility
So while electric vehicles (EVs) are a cornerstone of Europe’s decarbonisation strategy, OG Clean Fuels argues that the energy transition in transport requires a balanced, multi-fuel approach.
“With regard to our vision on EV, each fuel has its own application,” says Waringa. “Most importantly, we need to understand that with a focus on just one of the fuels, we won’t be able to reduce carbon emissions at the speed we need to.”
“That focus on one fuel, like electricity, distracts from the actual solution: a multi-fuel approach,” she adds. “EV is particularly suitable for inner-city, shorter-distance transport, but it’s less suitable for longer distance — and we simply cannot scale up the supply needed to solely drive EV. With EV alone, we’re just not going to make it.”
OG Clean Fuels continues to see demand for EV infrastructure, but its data shows Bio-CNG and Bio-LNG are currently the fastest-growing clean fuels in its network. “This growth is driven particularly by policies in countries like France, Sweden and Germany,” says Waringa.
Meanwhile, policy fragmentation remains a challenge across the EU.
“Unfortunately, we find that policies differ throughout Europe,” Waringa says. “Europe would benefit greatly from a more unified, consistent approach.”
While some member states, like France and Germany, incentivise renewable gases and HVO, others focus almost exclusively on electrification. OG Clean Fuels believes a more coordinated, pan-European framework would speed up the transition.
“If Europe wants to reach its climate goals, we need a shared direction,” says Waringa. “And that direction should acknowledge the role of multiple fuels, not just one.”
Rebranding Proviridis and integrating into the OG network
Under the acquisition, OG Clean Fuels will rebrand Proviridis’ 19 clean-fuel stations across France, including sites around Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Dourges, where they will become part of OG’s growing European network.
“We are looking forward to rebranding the Proviridis stations and welcoming our new customers, partners and colleagues,” says Waringa.
The integration strengthens OG’s position as a pan-European clean-fuel operator and connects France’s renewable gas expertise to a wider multi-fuel ecosystem
Competitive landscape
The company operates in a competitive and fast-evolving European clean-transport ecosystem, however. For instance, ReFuels N.V.—through its stake in CNG Fuels Ltd.—is building out a vertically integrated biomethane (Bio-CNG) platform aimed at heavy goods vehicles, including acquisitions of biomethane production facilities. Meanwhile, VARO Energy has announced a “One VARO” strategy across advanced biofuels, bio-LNG/biomethane, hydrogen and e-mobility, giving it a diversified footprint across low-carbon mobility value chains.
On the infrastructure side, companies like SEFE Mobility operate networks of dedicated bio-CNG filling stations (over 50 in the Czech Republic and beyond) and are actively expanding.
In this environment, OG Clean Fuels’ multi-fuel station network—spanning Bio-CNG, Bio-LNG, HVO100, hydrogen and EV charging—is a key differentiator. But success will depend on execution, scale, policy alignment and the ability to serve fleets across Europe’s varied markets. The presence of well-capitalised peers underlines the urgency: the race to decarbonise road transport in Europe isn’t just technological, it’s strategic.
