Advantages of bio natural gas
•
Natural gas is an alternative fuel coming from natural wells. It is mainly
methane (CH4)
•
Biogas is also a methane rich gas, produced by the fermentation of the
biomass, it is then a renewable fuel.
•
Methane contents 25% H and 75% C, in weight
As a comparison,
•
Petrol contents 13,5% H and 86,5% C
•
Diesel oil contents 13,5% H and 86,5% C
•
LPG contents 17,4% H and 82,6% C
Due to its molecular advantage, regulated exhaust emissions and
CO2 are particularly favourable in the engines running on natural gas.

installed underneath the floor, offering the
same internal space for passengers and
luggage than the petrol or diesel
equivalents.

Natural Gas is the fossil fuel of the future
Peter Voser, CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, Europe’s
biggest oil and gas company,
said on 13th September 2010 at the
World Energy Congress in Montreal:
“Natural Gas is an abundant resource for 250 years and as a fossil fuel it has
the lowest CO2 content. It will therefore play a vital role in electricity
generation and in the transport sector. Natural Gas is the fuel of future.”
Key points:
- More than 50% of Shell’s production in 2012 will be Natural Gas.
- Low taxes for NG need to be secured by policy makers, for both consumers
and the industry to support future investments.
- Globalisation of standards is needed.

five main lines:

Renewed interest in this diesel-natural gas combustion technology
CO2 important reduction. Diesel cycle maintained
Target market: heavy duty trucks and buses
Retrofit market considered too for EURO 2 and 3 vehicles
Options: full diesel operation when no CNG is available
Legislation still under development

LNG supply to Europe
Copenhagen. May 2011

The “Mediterranean LNG Blue Corridor”
The availability of LNG all around the Iberian Peninsula, plus the French
port of Fos (Marseille), and the Italian ones of Panigaglia (near Genova)
and Revigo (near Trieste) constitutes a fantastic existing infrastructure to
cover all the supply needs for road transport around the Mediterranean
arch.
Another corridor could also be imagined from Portugal and Spain to the
north of France, Netherlands, UK, north of Germany and Denmark, once
all the LNG terminals, now under construction, will be in service.

Biogas. Another source of Natural Gas
• Biogas comes from fermentation processes of biomass (organic
waste, landfills, vegetable and animal feedstock), which produces
methane rich gases.
• Biogas brings together the advantages of natural gas with the
environmental benefits of renewable energy sources.
• Due to the wide different types of sources: forestry, landfills,
agricultural; there is a large and wide potential for biogas
production in Europe, where it is expected to grow significantly in
the coming years.
Copenhagen. May 2011
22
Biogas production potential
Among different options of biofuels, biomethane presents the highest efficiency per hectare of land.
A global European estimation shows a potential of 2.750 TWh (9,9EJ=238Mtoe), made out of 1.500 TWh
(5,4 EJ=130Mtoe) coming from crops, plus another 1.250TWh (4,5EJ=1.108Mtoe) coming from other
sources: sewage, manure, landfills, etc.
If we choose bioethanol instead of biogas we would loose the potential of the waste, sewages, etc
(1.250TWh, 4,5EJ=108Mtoe) and we would also reduce the efficiency of the land by 47%.
In other words we would obtain 800TWh (2,9EJ=70Mtoe) instead of 2.750TWh (9,9EJ=238Mtoe).
Copenhagen. May 2011
23
Big city. Gas consumption vs biogas production
The yearly biogas production of the city is of about 40 mio m3, that
once refined would mean:
22 mio m3 of biomethane
The yearly consumption of natural gas of the complete fleet of 445
garbage collection trucks is:
10,5 mio m3
This volume is enough to fuel the full fleet of garbage collection
(445 units) plus a similar figure of buses. Near 1.000 heavy
urban vehicles!

Methane/Hydrogen mixtures
Methane/Hydrogen mixture (Hythane, Hydrometano) offers a number of
significant advantages as a bridge solution for a future hydrogen fuelled
transport:
–It can be used in the existing NGV engines and vehicles with minor
engine resetting
–The inboard fuel storage uses the same type of tanks and fittings, with
some specification changes in materials
–The H2 content considered (up to 30%) does not alter the autonomy of
the vehicles
–There is an immediate impact as CO2 emission reduction (- 11%)
–The use of compressed H2 in a “large” basis will push ahead the
development of the hydrogen production and logistics

Conclusions
• Natural gas (methane) is an excellent energy vector, with the lowest Carbon to Hydrogen
ratio of all the hydrocarbons. Additionally natural gas is an alternative fuel, having a
different origin from the traditional oil derived diesel, petrol and LPG
• Natural gas is used in existing internal combustion engines, with minor additional
investments, taking advantage of a well known and mature car & commercial vehicle
technology.
Dual Fuel technology offers the possibility of conversion for existing engines
• The increasing production of biomethane, both from urban waste and from agricultural
stuff is giving natural gas the new and valuable consideration of a renewable fuel
• Natural gas has been used so far as CNG mainly for urban applications. The availability of
LNG will spread its use for medium and long distances road transport
• NG vehicles are today the best and most economic, available and technically mature
alternative to oil derived fuels, also improving gaseous and acoustic emissions
• NG is the perfect fuel for fleets having their own filling stations, avoiding any
dependence of the distribution infrastructure.
