ADBA Policy Briefing: Transport: Biomethane – fuelling a transport revolution

Description:

This ADBA policy briefing examines the prospects for biomethane as a transport fuel.

Overview: Pollution levels exceed WHO guidelines on 97% of the UK’s roads. Greenhouse gas emissions from transport has not changed over the past decade. Government is consulting on whether to ban diesel HGV from 2030. Scores of local authorities are introducing Clean Air Zone charging. The smart money is moving to biomethane across public transport, long-haul logistics and food distribution, and – with the launch of the CNHi Biomethane tractor and small scale on-site methanation units – agriculture. The market potential is massive.

In this briefing we:

• Crunch the numbers – analysing the data on engine performance; ROI; emissions – clean air and climate; well-to-wheel impacts; cost-competitiveness and much more.
• Look at the available routes to biomethane expansion, including RTFO and ‘island’ deployment for on-site fuelling,
• And through case studies share first-hand experience from those actively engaged across the supply chain in the biomethane revolution – producers, operators, refuelling stations, HGV and bus

Speakers:

• Philip Fjeld, CEO, CNG Fuels (Chair)
• David Hurren, CEO, Air Liquide

Featuring case studies from Liverpool and Nottingham City Councils and ASDA.
