WHY USE COMPRESSED BIOMETHANE?
Natural Gas is a clean and safe energy source with a variety of commercial applications, including electricity generation, heating, and fuelling transport. Biomethane differs from fossil-derived CNG/LNG as it is emitted from the decomposition of food and animal waste, collected in an anaerobic digester and then injected into the grid. By using (bio)methane to power a gas vehicle the harmful effects of waste gases are significantly reduced, as only carbon dioxide and water remain after combustion.
Bio-CNG is a cheaper, cleaner and quieter way to run an HGV fleet than conventional diesel. Vehicles can run solely on gas (dedicated), or on both diesel and gas (dual-fuel). New engines can provide ranges greater than 500km, with very low efficiency loss compared to diesel.
Businesses located off major energy infrastructure can save emissions and costs. Instead of using diesel or distillate fuels, CNG is delivered to the facility via CNG trailers, with no disruption or additional ongoing challenges. Just cheaper, cleaner fuel.
