A cleaner energy for transport

While heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and buses account for 3% of vehicles on Irish roads, they generate 20% of Ireland’s transport emissions.  While CNG can reduce a HGV’s emissions by up to 22%, bioCNG can turn it into a carbon neutral vehicle. BioCNG is carbon neutral biomethane gas which is compressed to fit into a vehicle’s tank and is available for HGVs in the same way as CNG.

BioCNG is a renewable gas, which is entirely compatible with existing gas infrastructure, technology and vehicles. CNG vehicles can now significantly reduce their carbon footprint without changing a thing.

BioCNG generates the highest emissions savings for long-haul and regional drive cycles. This makes it the ideal fuel for decarbonising Ireland’s heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and bus fleets. Further detail on studies outlining theenvironmental benefits can be found here.  Moving to bioCNG today is a sustainable, long-term choice for fleet operators.

CNG and bioCNG are established global sources of transport fuel, with almost 2 million CNG vehicles in Europe.

Both can be compressed to fit in the fuel tank of gas-powered vehicles. Studies show they are particularly well-suited to deliver the high performance and distance requirements of HGVs and buses. The highest emissions savings realised with CNG and bioCNG are achieved under specific conditions, loads and vehicles – particularly the long-haul drive cycles – making them the ideal fuels for decarbonising Ireland’s heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and bus fleets. While electricity is a proven alternate fuel for cars, electric solutions are not a viable option for use in heavy goods commercial vehicles, however CNG and bioCNG are, and are being used by fleet operators throughout Europe.

Fast-fill CNG/bioCNG stations also provide quick, efficient and safe refuelling, with a normal fill-time of three to five minutes for a gas vehicle from empty.

Gas-powered vehicles can provide significant competitive advantage for early adopters – both from a sustainability and price perspective. As climate action becomes increasingly important to businesses, many large private and public sector organisations are focusing on the sustainability of their supply chains and considering their carbon footprint when choosing a transport partner. While CNG can reduce well-to-wheel emissions by up to 22% compared to diesel, HGVs operating on 100% bioCNG can achieve zero carbon emissions.

Businesses can purchase locally produced bioCNG, within Ireland today. This provides Irish HGV and bus operators with a distinct competitive advantage when securing new local and international customers.

While HGVs and buses account for 4% of vehicles on Irish roads, they generate 30% of Ireland’s transport emissions. With up to 22% well-to-wheel emissions savings realised by switching from diesel to CNG, CNG provides an immediate solution to the decarbonisation of the transport sector. HGVs operating on 100% bioCNG can achieve zero carbon emissions.

Establishing a sustainable renewable gas industry in Ireland will not only help meet Ireland’s climate action targets and enhance Ireland’s security of supply, but also support agriculture and the economy. Renewable gas is produced from farm and food waste through a process known as anaerobic digestion, which is helping to decarbonise the food and agricultural industries.

The process not only generates renewable gas to replace natural gas on the national network but produces an organic bio-fertiliser by-product that reduces pollution risk for waterways, improve soil quality, enhance the ability of grassland soils to absorb carbon and improve air quality, and decreases reliance on chemical fertilisers and pesticides on cropland and dairy pastureland.

Locating anaerobic digestion facilities in rural areas will provide additional revenue sources for these communities from the sale of feedstocks, bio-fertiliser and renewable gas, providing long-term, sustainable and diversified employment opportunities and income streams. Renewable gas produced through anaerobic digestion is already facilitating sustainable circular economies in Ireland, with some food businesses powering their operations with renewable gas produced from their own waste.
