Biogas fuel market breakthrough

Previous experience

The main tasks for 2004-2006 have been to:

  • Increased biogas production
  • Use of agricultural substrates as feedstock for biogas production
  • Improve distribution
  • Initiate information efforts for new fuel stations

As of December 2005, the result was 126 GWh of green gas (natural gas and biogas) has replaced 14.5 million liters of petrol. This means that emissions of greenhouse gases from vehicles in West Sweden have decreased by 17,000 tons/year.

The project goal for 2006 is to dispose of 35 fuelling stations, 7,000 gas vehicles and increase production to 120 GWh of biogas.
