In 2030, the European fleet of about 13.2 million gas vehicles

will save 15 megatons of CO2 which is equivalent to:

=-55% CO2

By 2030, 40% biomethane will be available to power the entire NGV fleet which is currently estimated to be more than 13 million vehicles.

This will result in an overall GHG emissions reduction of 55%.

Renewable gas: how to quickly reduce CO2 in the transport sectorNATURAL GAS TECHNOLOGIES ARE FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH BIO AND SYNTHETIC METHANE, THUS ALLOWING FOR A COST-EFFECTIVE AND FLEXIBLE SYSTEM, CAPABLE OF INCLUDING A GROWING RATE OF RENEWABLES. • Today, a rapidly growing share of 17%

of biomethane is already available and fuelled as CNG and LNG.

• Almost 25% of Europe’s refuelling network is supplying biomethane with a bio rate of up to 100%.

fuel cost savingper year

Fuel operation costs When fuelling vehicles with CNG or LNG, consumers benefit from huge fuel operation cost savings:

Europe’s 2030 estimated natural gas vehicle fleet of about 13 million vehicles would result in a yearly fuel cost saving of more than 4.5 billion Euros, compared to conventional fuels.

In 2020, European natural gas vehicles (NGVs) use a fuel blend, already including more than 17% biomethane.

Together with an already 20% emissions reduction measured at the tailpipe, this biomethane share results in a 35% reduction at fuel & vehicle level when compared to conventional fuels.

How much renewable gas for transport?From today’s production of 22 TWh renewable gas, Europe has a potential of 1 200 TWh. Out of this, 117 TWh renewable gas will be distributed as transport fuel (bioCNG and bioLNG), which represents 40% of the overall fleet consumption in 2030.

The added value of a locally produced clean fuel:the potential for a city like Brussels

A city like Brussels, with 1.2 million inhabitants, produces about 210 kt of

biowaste per year.

If distributed to road transport as 40% blend, a fleet of 75 000 vehicles

could be fuelled.

This vehicle fleet would enable a 55% CO2 reduction which is equivalent to

85 kt of CO2 avoided in a city like Brussels.

1.2 million inhabitants

173 kg biowaste per inhabitant every year
