About Gazu

Founded in 2011, Gazu GmbH currently operates 48 CNG filling stations in Germany and is thus one of the leading suppliers of gas filling stations in Germany alongside Gazprom and E.ON. Strengthening biomethane as fuel in Germany and Europe is a major concern for Gazu. As a result, Gazu is constantly buying additional sites. Gazu’s petrol stations strive to meet the latest technological standards, which is why Gazu GmbH has decided to start a trade with used stations and CNG spare parts.
