The European Biogas Association (EBA) and the Natural & Biogas Vehicle Association (NGVA Europe) have published a new leaflet, illustrating the current uptake of biomethane in the transport sector and its potential in the coming years.
Data collected for the leaflet shows that today, European natural gas vehicles (NGVs) use a fuel blend containing already more than 17% biomethane. This results in a 35% reduction at fuel and vehicle level when compared to emissions from conventional fuels.
The further deployment of biomethane will significantly reduce transport emissions in the coming years. According to estimations from EBA and NGVA Europe, 117 TWh renewable gas could be distributed as transport fuel as bioCNG and bio LNG by 2030.
Going by those estimations, that would represent 40% of the overall fuel consumption of the NGVs fleet, estimated at more than 13 million vehicles in 2030.
