BBB is a part of the EU Climate Change StrategyExtended use of Biogas buses in public transport will

- lower emissions

- improve urban air quality

- strengthen the role of public transport

- create energy autonomy

Goals and budget

• Generate regional strategies for biogas bus operations

• Developments in production, distribution and operations

• Disseminate biogas potential

• Period: 2009–2012.• Budget: 4,2 MEUR.• Financing: Partly by the EU

fund (ERDF)

For efficient use of biogas buses

we work with:

Some results • Strategies and policies (WP3)

- Strategies introduce Biogas buses

- Oslo, 14 buses, Ruter

- Stockholm, 160 buses, SL

- Bergen , 70 buses, HOG & Skyss

- Traffic plan, Tartu City

- LCCA analysis, VTT

- Biogas market

- Regulations affecting Intro. Biogas

- Internat. Seminar S:t Petersburg

- Discussions with decision makers in Germany and Poland, ATI, MTI








- Biogas market




Biogas buses in Bergen

Process framework


1) Understanding the decision making process

2) Goal and goal scenarios

3) Insight and documentation

4) Communication

5) Creating and developing alliances

Conclusion from HOG Energi’s work in Bergen

Decision from Hordaland County Council: •75 new gas buses to be purchased in Bergen•Climate Plan for Hordaland county states that use of biogas and other renewable energy sources will be increased towards 2020. Biogas will be a priority in public transportation

Decision from Bergen City Council:•Produced biogas from Rådalen production facility shall be used in the public transport sector









- Biogas market





Strategies for Tartu City

• Transport development plan 2012-2020• Research for potential biogas production,

distribution and usage• Feasibility study of biogas buses• Awareness, dissemination of the potential for

sustainablecity transports and biogas

How to start a Biogas Market for traffic operators?

• Studies of biogas possibilities in the Stockholm region

• Co-operation between biogas producers and distributers

• Contracts• Operation• Legal agreements• Procurment



Some results

• Supply of Biogas (WP4)

- Potential of biogas in the Baltic Sea region - Landfill study, a general

calc. model - Biogas with Hydrogen (ATI) - Supply and demand in

eastern Sweden - Baltic Biogas Foresight (MTI)

Aim of StudyDevelop a knowledge base on biogas infrastructure in BSR countries in a manner that is useful to identify the influence that existing and planned infrastructure have on introduction of biogas as a transport fuel in BSR countries.

Objectives• Study biogas infrastructure overview

• Map biogas production and distribution

• Analyze the influence of infrastructure on introducing biogas as a vehicle fuel

•Discuss barriers and opportunities to promote biogas
