Outline

•Biomethane as a transport fuel in Sweden

•What is LBG and LNG?

•Why LBG and LNG?

•BiMe Trucks –

Liquefied gas for heavy duty transports

•LNG Blue Corridors –

Demonstration on EU level

•EU-directive on infrastructure

Why use biomethane in the

transportsector?

Targets :

Swedish government:

“By 2050, Sweden will have a sustainable

and resource-efficient energy supply and no

net emissions of greenhouse gases in the

atmosphere”.

Facts:

The transport sector represents today one

third of the Swedish CO2 emissions

Biomethane one of the biofuels that are

defined as important solution to reach

target.

Biomethane as a transport fuel

• Over 150 public stations

• Over 50 non-public stations

(fleets, buses and trucks)

Biomethane and natural gas

for vehicles in Sweden

What is LNG?

• LNG = Liquefied Natural Gas

• Cold condensed methane

• Concentrated energy

• Logistic solution

• Established technology

• Clean burning fuel

Why LBG and LNG?

• Accessible energy

- Industry

- Road transport

- Sea transport

• Decreased oil dependency

• Improves health, environment,&

climate

• Increases biogas production

• Supports political goals

• Competitive prices

LNG supply in Sweden

• A number of production plants

and terminals exist or are being

planned in Scandinavia

• In addition, a number of smaller

plants around Sweden as back-

up

• The first LNG terminal in

Sweden was opened in May

2011

• The second one will open in

Lysekil this year.

LBG supply in Sweden

• Lidköping Biogas - in operation

since October 2012

• Annual production capacity

60 GWh

• Substrate based on waste - food

processing industries and farming

• Several additional LBG-projects

now under investigation

• The purpose of the project was to have a market introduction of liquefied

biogas to heavy duty vehicles by coordinating the timetable for the vehicle

introduction with the infrastructure of filling stations.

• The goal was to build 3 filling station and deliver 69 trucks to customers.

BiMe Trucks Sweden 2010-2013

Project partners: Co-funding:

• 3 new filling stations and 69 new trucks on the road.

• 30 percent LBG in the fuel-mix within the project.

• Climate impact can be reduced by up to 70 percent by using a ratio of 75

percent LBG and 25 percent diesel.

• Extensive practical experience.

• An open and close dialogue between the partners of the project.

The result

Project partners: Co-funding:

Trucks, Infrastructure & Fuel

2014-08-28 •BiMe Trucks & LNG BC 15

Renewable content

up to 50 %

Based on mass balance/

Green gas principle

• Several OEMs and retrofit companies demonstrate LNGtehnologies for EURO 6 emission standard- 100 additional vehicles on the road and in operation

• Developing infrastructure and demonstrating the fuel for market actors as a first step before large scale introduction- 14 additional refuelling stations to close the gap in infrastucture

• Supporting harmonization of market solutions and standards- Fuel, interface, components, safety, follow-up …

• 12 countries and 27 stakeholders represented

Swedish input

to the LNG-BCproject

• Reports

- Market harmonization proposal

- Liquefied Biomethane experience in Sweden

- Potentials for LBG in Europe

- Gas quality

Swedish input

to the LNG-BCproject

• Milestone:L-CNG-station for demonstration in Örebro, Sweden

EU-directive:Deployment of alternative fuels Infrastructure

• Adopted in the European Parliament ,15 April 2014

• Densly populated areas by 2020

– 150 km between natural gas stations

– 400 km between LNG stations

• Member states have to develop national policy

frameworks within 24 months from

implementation (autumn 2016).
