Kuwait Petroleum International (KPI), which retails under the QKQ8 brand, has sought to enhance its reputation as a leader in innovation and sustainability by launching Europe’s first ‘green’ petrol station.
The station, located in Sweden, is powered by solar panels and uses rainwater for the car wash, while the high-speed rechargers for electrical cars get some of their energy from solar cells on the rooftop. The environmentally-friendly station is now open to the public, and the model is planned to be copied at all Q8 stations.
"The sustainable filling station is our very own contribution to renew the industry. As an industry, we can do so much more than develop renewable fuels and environmentally friendly car products," said QKQ8 Sweden's Executive Chairman, Goran Lindbla.
