How to reach the European Green Deal in transport? Low emission vehicles fuelled with renewable gas are the answer: vehicles are available, and infrastructure is in place.
Therefore, together with the European Biogas Association (EBA), we have published a new leaflet on the current uptake and future potential of biomethane in a decarbonised transport sector. The leaflet was presented at our joint webinar on 8 July 2020.
Leaflet Highlights· Today, 17% biomethane is used to fuel natural gas vehicles (NGVs) in 25% of Europe’s refuelling network. This results in a 35% reduction of emissions when compared to conventional fuels.
· In 2030, 40% biomethane will be available to power the entire NGV fleet reducing overall GHG emissions by 55% and delivering up to 1 million jobs.
· Europe’s 2030 estimated natural gas vehicle fleet would result in a yearly fuel cost saving of more than 4.5 billion Euros.
· The local production of clean fuels helps cities deliver their share in a circular bioeconomy by reducing biowaste and air pollution.

The webinar followed and presented the new leaflet and focused on topics surrounding the current uptake and future potential of biomethane in a decarbonised transport sector.
Decarbonising transport is essential to achieve the ambitious EU climate targets and help Europe’s transition to a clean energy system.
In this context, renewable gases are the leading alternatives, which can significantly contribute to reducing CO2 in the transport sector and reach the carbon neutral mobility.
