IESEL VEHICLES WILL BE REMOVED FROM PARIS, MEXICO CITY, MADRID AND ATHENS
BY 2025, AS PART OF UNPRECEDENTED EFFORT BY MAYORS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY
OF LOCAL AIR.
This green and pioneering commitment was
made at the C40 Mayors Summit in Mexico
City. Worldwide, 3 million deaths each year
are linked to exposure to outdoor air pollution
according to World Health Organisation
(WHO), with the vast majority of these deaths
occurring in cities.
“Mayors have already stood up to say that the
climate change is one of the greatest challenges
we face” – said Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris and
new Chair of the C40 Cities Climate Leadership
Group. “Today, we also stand up to say we no
longer tolerate air pollution and the health
problems and deaths it causes – particularly for
our most vulnerable citizens. Big problems like air
pollution require bold action, and we call on car
and bus manufacturers to join us.”
Citizens of cities across the world are joining
the call for cleaner air through a global petition
demanding that vehicle manufacturers lead an
air quality transformation. They are urging the
companies to stop producing diesel vehicles
by 2025 and to support a rapid transition to
alternative fuel vehicles.
In this regard, the Community of Madrid is
already subsidising the conversion of vehicles
so they can operate with cheaper and less
polluting fuels, such as Autogas, through
Renove Plans.
Each user joining this campaign receives up
to 400 euros: 200 euros transferred directly
to the owner of the vehicle and the rest
through a discount on the invoice issued by the
authorised workshops, on account of these.
Moreover, in France there is a new decree
with a new classification of vehicles, according
to their level of air pollutant emissions, and
Autogas cars are recognised as being among
the best options as regards to air quality.

Following a competitive bidding process for an environmental bonus,
biogas was selected by Helsinki Region Transport (HSL) for Helsinki
region bus services. Using renewable natural gas will cut carbon
dioxide emissions by an annual total of 1,367 tonnes, based annual
consumption of 600,000 kg of biogas by 22 buses. This corresponds
to the emissions generated by driving a gasoline-fueled car for
approximately 11 million kilometres.
The annual total of energy supplied under the biogas agreement will
be around 8 GWh.
“This is not the first successful entry of biogas in HSL’s competitive biddings
for the environmental bonus, which is proof of this renewable and 100%
Finnish fuel being a cost-effective way to reduce emissions. It makes sense
to use various types of biodegradable waste for the energy-efficient
production of biogas and use it as a clean road vehicle fuel” - says Gasum
Business Development Manager for Biogas Jussi Vainikka.

CZECH REPUBLIC
100 CNG filling stations were opened in the Czech Republic in the last 3 years. Total number has increased to 140 and every region has around 10
of them. The Central Bohemia region with 22 CNG filling stations tops the list. New CNG filling stations are being opened, for example, at petrol
stations Benzina, MOL, OMV, Shell, Texaco, Total, EuroOil, D oil, Caroil, KaprOil, Marho, Kontakt and Q100.
In particular Benzina is well off in this respect, it has a CNG filling station at 30 petrol stations already and is thinking about opening another 50.
The number of CNG filling stations could exceed 200 in the coming two years. Around 16,000 vehicles use CNG in the Czech Republic and some
4,000 to 5,000 are being added every year. Some car fleets of transport companies, for instance that of postal service provider Ceska posta, already
have more than 1,000 vehicles running on CNG. "Environment friendly and fuel saving CNG vehicles are being used by municipal offices, the police,
firefighters and health facilities. CNG is the most popular alternative fuel. Incentives and subsidies also contribute to the fast growth in the number of CNG
vehicles," said Jiri Simek of the CPS.
The Environment Ministry has recently made a call to regions and municipalities. Support for passenger cars weighing up to 3.5 tonnes which run
on CNG is worth Kc 50,000. Another Kc10,000 can be provided for environmentally safe liquidation of the old vehicle. A total of Kc20m has been
prepared for applicants wanting to switch to CNG.

ROMANIA
S.C. Denisson Energy S.R.L, an authorized distributor of automotive
fuel in Romania and part of Antares Group, will create the first network
of CNG filling stations for vehicles in the country, along the European
transport corridors. The EUR 5.2 million (USD 5.5 m) is supported by
non-repayable funding from the European Commission’s Innovation
and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) to the extent of EUR 4.4m.
Antares Group president Dumitru Becsenescu, also president of the
Association of Producers and Users of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG
Romania) says that given the drastic reduction in particulate emissions
and the substantial fuel cost savings available from using natural gas
as a vehicle fuel, there is good reason for Antarres to be confident the
development of Romania’s natural gas vehicle future. 9 CNG fuelling
stations will be constructed for vehicles along the TEN-T core network
corridors in Romania. A year after the inauguration of the first station
public in Romania, located in Ramnicu Valcea where Antares Group
is headquartered, the company says it will continue to invest in the
creation of a national network that allows users to travel anywhere in
the country and Europe.
Antares has also purchased 20 140hp CNG buses from the Iveco
distributor in Czech Republic. The Iveco Stratos minibuses measure 7.8
metres and can seat 29 plus driver. The buses have CNG fuel capacity
to enable 470 km round trips. The Group says the incremental cost of
selecting CNG buses will be fully recovered in 6 years from fuel cost
savings.

Brabant carrier Van Driel Group, based in Oss, Netherlands is making
a difference with its decision late last year to use renewable natural
gas (biomethane) powered vehicles to transport students in Almere.
It is both contributing to a cleaner urban environment and modeling
environmental responsibility before the next generation of decisionmakers.
Van Driel was awarded the Almere school transport project earlier
in 2016. Although sustainability was weighted only 5% in the tender,
Van Driel concluded its vehicles will operate using 100% green
gas, utilising the OrangeGas dispenser under the canopy of Esso
– Van Staveren in Almere.
Van Driel has acquired 10 new green gas taxis for its fleet, comprising
Skoda Octavia and Mercedes Benz B-Class vehicles. In 2015, Van Driel
acquired 34 natural gas powered Volkswagen Transporter T6 for
student transportation in the municipality of Nijmegen.
OrangeGas has to date invested more than € 13 million (USD 13.75
m) in green gas filling stations and has 65 refuelling locations in the
Netherlands. The refuelling agreement with Van Driel has a term of
four years and may then be extended by two years. It concerns both
transport within the town and beyond.

Finnish bus company Helsingin Bussiliikenne Oy (HelB) will use
100% domestically produced biogas (biomethane/RNG) made
from biodegradable waste to replace natural gas as a bus fuel for its
operations in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area during 2017.
FRANCE
The growth in vehicle offerings and natural gas fueling infrastructure
are clear signals that investors in this cleanest and most economic of
hydrocarbon fuels have a clear vision of its place as a transportation
fuel now and into the future. Several large cities are either adopting
natural gas as an alternative to reduce fleet emissions, noise and
operating costs in the municipal sector, or are considering doing so.
Iveco France’s Steve Giguet, head of development and sales for natural
gas vehicles, explains: “The main distribution chains have shown the way
forward in France, and both the end user and the fleet owners of municipal
vehicles are placing their trust in this technology.”
France’s smallest mid-range truck fueled by natural gas and focused
on waste collection, the Iveco Eurocargo 120EL21 P is equipped
with a Euro 6 CNG engine of 204 hp and has a fully automatic Allison
2500 transmission equipped with FuelSense fuel-saving technology.
The truck has an integrated fully-sealed Farid PN10 mini compactor
for waste collection and a fuel tank of 480 litres / 80 kg of compressed
natural gas, making it suitable for environmentally sensitive
applications in urban areas and in the narrow streets of historic city
centres.

MEXICO
The first daughter station in Mexico was inaugurated on October
2016, located in Morelia, the capital of the central Mexican state of
Michoacán. The daughter station marks the first installation of SAFE
compressor equipment in Mexico, a country that is moving swiftly
to embrace natural gas for transportation. The station is equipped
with an SF series SAFE compressor capable of emptying the trailer to
a minimum of four bar, which consequently reduces transportation
costs. Also supplied were the dispensers and accessories. The SAFE
SF series compressor system has a performance of between 1000
and 4000 sm3h with an average power consumption of 80kw, much
lower than the average consumption of traditional daughter station
systems. The compressor is capable of refuelling more than 60 vehicles
per hour.

Grupo Transportes Monterrey, headquartered in the State of Nuevo
León in northeast Mexico, has reported via media service T21 of its
initial experience with CNG powered trucks. The group acquired 10
Kenworth T680 CNG trucks about 12 months ago and says that thus
far 288 tons of CO2 emissions have been prevented.
Satisfaction with the performance of the trucks to date has prompted
the Group to evaluate the acquisition of 20 more trucks in 2017.
Grupo Transportes Monterrey confirmed with T21 its commitment
towards cleaner operations and has projected the fleet will have 140
to 150 natural gas trucks during the 2018-2021 triennium.
Allison fully automatic gearboxes are well matched to trucks powered
by natural gas. The torque converter gently multiplies the torque,
transmitting more power to the wheels. By multiplying engine power,
drivers enjoy higher performance, faster acceleration and greater
operational flexibility. Allison fully automatic transmissions increase
power, while an automated manual or manual transmission loses
power with every change.

The Propane Council of Texas (ProCOT), a non-profit organisation
dedicated to promoting the use of cleaner-burning, domestically
produced LPG, is offering incentives through its Propane Autogas:
Fuelling Texas campaign, to Texas private vehicle fleets.
The ProCOT defines a private fleet as a business or non-profit fleet
with three or more vehicles registered in Texas. The incentive will be
available on a first-come, first-served basis.
ProCOT’s incentives cover the purchase of new, dedicated original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) Autogas vehicles and/or aftermarket
conversions to LPG. Incentives are available to cover the incremental
cost between gas/diesel vehicles and LPG vehicles up to $7,500. There
is a $30,000 cap per fleet. In return, vehicle incentive recipients will
be required to provide data on their fleet.
Moreover, from 1 January 2017, the incentive programme is
expanded to public vehicles to include school district, municipal,
county, and state fleets. Public Autogas vehicle seeking incentive
must be converted or purchased on or after January 1, 2017 to qualify.
USA
Waterford School District (WSD) introduced new school buses
fuelled by LPG into its fleet in December, joining almost 30 other
school districts in the state of Michigan to operate Autogas buses, an
economical alternative that allows school districts to save money in
maintenance and fuel costs, and to reduce carbon footprint.
“Prior to joining WSD, I had a very positive experience with propanefuelled buses” – said WSD Superintendent Keith Wunderlich. “School
buses operating on Autogas are environmentally friendly and reliable in
cold weather conditions, plus offer cost saving benefits.”
Wunderlich also said that the school district selected these buses because
they provide the added safety of a quieter running engine and, although the
initial purchase cost is higher, the “savings in overall cost of ownership versus
a diesel bus is worth the initial cost.”
Each Blue Bird Vision Propane Bus is fitted with Autogas systems
manufactured by ROUSH CleanTech.
“Waterford School District joins hundreds of school districts across America
making the decision to find fuel alternatives for their buses” – said Brian Carney,
executive director of school bus and customer support for ROUSH CleanTech.
“Autogas is a proven choice that costs about 50% less than diesel per gallon and
reduces maintenance costs due to its clean-operating properties.”
Equipped with Ford Motor Company’s 6.8L V10 engines, the new buses emit
80% fewer smog-producing hydrocarbons and virtually eliminate particulate
matter when compared with diesel. They will also reduce nitrogen oxide
emissions by about 10,000 pounds and particulate matter by about 315
pounds each year compared with the diesel buses they replaced.
TURKEY
The innovative “Diesel-LPG Dual Fuel Conversion of Heavy-Duty Vehicles”
project was developed by Aygaz in cooperation with DPG, a Turkish LPG
conversion partner, and is ready for implementation.
The conversion system was tested on 13 trucks for two years, during which
these vehicles drove for a total of one million kilometers across Turkey.
The conversion system increases fuel efficiency by up to 10% while offering
virtually similar performance and drivability as diesel.
Moreover, using LPG in heavy-duty vehicles enables a 6% decrease in CO2
emissions and a 35% decrease in PM emissions, which is a huge benefit for
the environment. Diesel-LPG conversion offers a near-future opportunity for
vehicle owners and LPG distributors.
This initiative received an innovation award at the 29th World LPG Forum.
KOREA
The 2017 Hyundai Azera (known as Grandeur in the Korean market) went
on sale in November 2016 and it is available with 4 engine options, including
Autogas, which is currently the only alternative fuel option, since the other
3 variants are gasoline and diesel-powered. A hybrid model will be introduced
during 2017.
The Grandeur is one of Hyundai’s most popular models in the Korean market,
which is evident from the number of pre-orders (27,000) that they have
received in just three weeks. Prices range from 30.55 million (25,000 euros)
won to 38.7 million won (31,000 euros).
The 3.0-litre LPG-powered engine version generating 235 PS and 28.6 kg/m
(280.47 Nm) of torque is available for customers in the commercial segment.
Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and 8-speed automatic.
The new Grandeur measures 4,930 mm in length, 1,865 mm in width and
1,470 mm in height, and has wheelbase of 2,845 mm, making it 10 mm longer
and 5 mm wider than its previous model.
The luxury sedan is also equipped with a host of new safety features, boosting
its technological edge. Woong Chul Yang, Vice Chairman of Hyundai Motor
Company and Head of R&D Centre, said: “The All-new Azera is born with Hyundai
Motor’s ceaseless endeavour to innovate toward utter perfection, while inheriting
30 years of brand heritage from its predecessors.”
Planujesz
zakup
używanego
auta na gaz?
Dowiedz się, na co
zwrócić uwagę
Powód, dla którego Polacy decydują się na zakup oraz montaż instalacji
LPG, jest taki sam jak w przypadku używanego auta, czyli oszczędność.
Kiedy jednak decydujemy się na zakup auta z drugiej ręki już
przekonwertowanego na LPG, musimy zwrócić uwagę na kilka bardzo istotnych
kwestii. W przeciwnym razie, możemy narazić się na poniesienie wysokich
kosztów związanych z naprawami, które mogą przekroczyć wartość nowego
systemu autogaz. Na co zwrócić uwagę przy zakupie używanego auta na gaz?
1. WPIS DO DOWODU REJESTRACYJNEGO
Pierwszą kwestią, jaką musimy sprawdzić przy zakupie jest to, czy
instalacja LPG została wpisana do dowodu rejestracyjnego samochodu.
Jest to warunek konieczny, gdyż w innym przypadku nie dokonamy
corocznego przeglądu technicznego.
2. DATA MONTAŻU
Kolejnym krokiem jest sprawdzenie, kiedy instalacja LPG została
zamontowana. "Warto mieć na uwadze fakt, że w przypadku, gdy montaż miał
miejsce bezpośrednio przed sprzedażą samochodu, pod maską może znajdować
się system niskiej jakości, mający na celu jedynie uatrakcyjnienie oferty. Jeżeli
instalacja jest stara – może stanowić to przyczynę sprzedaży samochodu
i w niedługim czasie oznaczać konieczność wymiany podzespołów systemu na
nowe" – mówi Marek Bezubik, Specjalista ds. Technicznych firmy AC S.A.,
producenta systemów LPG/CNG marki STAG.
3. NIEZBĘDNA DOKUMENTACJA
Kolejnym krokiem jest upewnienie się, czy osoba sprzedająca pojazd
posiada wszelkie niezbędne dokumenty instalacji, czyli atest zbiornika
gazowego oraz wyciąg ze świadectwa homologacji. Należy sprawdzić
również ważność legalizacji butli – jeżeli termin upływa w niedługim
czasie, warto negocjować cenę pojazdu, gdyż zakup nowej lub ponowne
wyrobienie legalizacji to koszt rzędu kilkuset złotych.

CHCĄ CIESZYĆ SIĘ GENEROWANYMI OSZCZĘDNOŚCIAMI OD
MOMENTU NABYCIA POJAZDU. NA CO JEDNAK POWINNIŚMY
ZWRÓCIĆ UWAGĘ PRZY ZAKUPIE AUTA NA GAZ, ABY
FAKTYCZNIE TAK BYŁO?
4. SERWIS INSTALACJI
Duże znaczenie ma również fakt, czy poprzedni właściciel samochodu
regularnie serwisował instalację, gdyż wizyty w wyspecjalizowanych
warsztatach wydłużają żywotność systemu. W tym przypadku warto
dowiedzieć się także, czy właściciel nie próbował oszczędzać na naprawach
– można to sprawdzić na podstawie wyglądu poszczególnych elementów
pod maską samochodu, np. wiszących na przewodach części instalacji
autogaz czy nieprecyzyjnie i niestarannie zamocowanych komponentach.
5. PRACA SILNIKA
Nie bez znaczenia pozostaje także zweryfikowanie, czy silnik poprawnie
działa zarówno na benzynie, jak i gazie. "Warto wiedzieć, że pojazd na LPG,
w którym znajduje się uszkodzony układ zasilania benzyną, nie będzie
prawidłowo pracował na gazie. W przypadku pracy silnika na LPG, należy
upewnić się, czy nie pojawiają się problemy z przełączaniem zasilania
benzynowego na gaz, czy podczas jazdy nie są odczuwalne szarpnięcia
lub nieprawidłowości w pracy silnika, a także czy nie zapala się kontrolka
„check engine”. Jeżeli wykryjemy nieprawidłowości w funkcjonowaniu silnika,
powinniśmy udać się do warsztatu w celu zdiagnozowania pojazdu. Takie
działanie z całą pewnością zaoszczędzi nam stresu i wydatków związanych
z późniejszą naprawą samochodu” – mówi Marek Bezubik, Specjalista ds.
Technicznych firmy AC S.A., producenta systemów LPG/CNG marki STAG.
Podejmując decyzję o zakupie używanego auta na gaz, warto poprosić
również sprzedającego o udostępnienie specyfikacji całego systemu LPG,
dzięki czemu w przyszłości unikniemy trudności związanych z wymianą
podzespołów na nowe.

MTS
deploys 77 propane buses; Ford F-550 and E-450
chassis with ROUSH fuel systems
ROUSH CleanTech’s signature blue anodized aluminum fuel rails are
designed to operate under the varying temperatures and pressures
of liquid propane. Fuel is regulated from the tank by the FRPCM
(Fuel Rail Pressure Control Module) then sent through the rails. Fuel is
then injected into the engine by each of the ten fuel injectors. Un-used
fuel returns through the FRPCM and flows back into the fuel tank.
The ROUSH CleanTech liquid propane autogas strategy is built off
of the OEM strategy with the addition of new logic to drive and monitor
the flow control solenoid. Because the strategy is based off of the OEM
strategy, the OEM PCM retains all fuel control and diagnostic functions.
No modifications are made to the scan tool interface features of the
logic except to add the propane autogas specific DTC’s. The propane
autogas DTC’s are stored in the PCM memory and are cleared via the
OEM strategy’s fault state controller.
With the switch to propane, 35% of the Copley Park fleet is now
operating on alternative fuel.
The California Air Resources Board and EPA certify the ROUSH
CleanTech Ford E-450 and F-550 buses for sale in all 50 states.
The ROUSH CleanTech Ford E-450 has completed Federal Transit
Administration’s New Model Bus Testing Program (“Altoona
Testing”) and can be purchased using a transit agency’s FTA funds.
ROUSH CleanTech has deployed almost 14,000 propane autogas vehicles
to fleets across America. Of those, about 800 operate in the transit industry.
MTS operates 95 bus routes and three Trolley lines on 53 miles of
double-tracked railway. Every weekday more than 300,000 passenger
trips are taken on MTS bus and Trolley services in 10 cities and the
county. In FY 2016, MTS served 92.6 million riders.
Source: greencarcongress
One of the key benefits of the ROUSH CleanTech liquid propane
autogas fuel system is that vehicle operation and performance
is virtually transparent as compared to that of the base gasoline vehicle.
Propane autogas is a lower carbon alternative fuel that reduces
greenhouse gases by up to 25%, 60% less carbon monoxide, and fewer
particulate emissions versus gasoline.
Historically, propane autogas costs 40% less than gasoline and up
to 50% less than diesel. The current gasoline price MTS pays is $1.99
per gallon and the propane prices is $1.39 per gallon. The paratransit
vehicles travel 40,000 miles annually and the minibuses travel 45,000
miles annually.
“This is a great example of how MTS is realizing cost-savings and helping
communities reduce emissions. MTS will save about $5.8 million over the
five to seven-year lifecycle of the vehicles and reduce the carbon intensity by
71%” – said MTS CEO Paul Jablonski.
All propane-fueled buses will be stationed at the agency’s Copley Park
Division in Kearny Mesa where MTS operates 178 paratransit vehicles
and 37 minibuses. In addition to paratransit services, the division
covers 30 bus routes and serves about 1.3 million passengers annually.

on LNG as an automotive fuel
OLVO TRUCKS HAS CONFIRMED THE VOLVO
METHANEDIESEL EURO VI ENGINE WILL BE
INTRODUCED IN EUROPE AT THE END OF 2017.
THE NEW HIGH PRESSURE DIRECT INJECTION
(HPDI) ENGINE HAS ABOUT 15 PER CENT HIGHER
ENERGY EFFICIENCY THAN A CONVENTIONAL
GAS-POWERED (CNG) TRUCK POWERED BY AN
OTTO CYCLE ENGINE AND THE SAME EFFICIENCY
AS A DIESEL ENGINE. BUT WHY THE ONGOING
FOCUS ON NATURAL GAS AS A TRUCK FUEL?
THERE ARE VERY GOOD REASONS, EXPLAINS
VOLVO.
The company’s goal is to create the right
preconditions for transportation that is sustainable
in the long term, through energy-efficient,
competitive and future-proof solutions with a low
climate and environmental impact. For heavy trucks
in regional and long haul operation, methane in the
form of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is the fuel that
is best positioned to quickly become a competitive,
globally available, alternative to diesel.
WHY LNG?
• Reduced dependence on oil: Increased use
of LNG will cut the heavy long haul transport
industry’s dependence on oil.
• Good availability: There is good global availability
of LNG, and it can be produced in large quantities.
Producers and distributors are positive to the
idea of establishing LNG as an automotive fuel.
• Lower climate impact: A truck running on natural
gas has about 20 per cent lower climate impact
than a diesel-powered truck (tank to wheel)
depending on the choice of engine technology.
12
• Sufficient operative range: With liquefied gas, it
is possible to carry sufficient fuel on board the
vehicle to drive long distances (500 – 1 000 km)
between refuelling stops.
• Competitive fuel cost: Both production cost
and end-user price are today generally lower for
natural gas than for diesel, creating favourable
preconditions for haulage operators to cut their
fuel costs.
• Opens the door to biogas: Infrastructure and
vehicles for LNG will pave the way for increased
use of methane from renewable sources (LBG or
RNG), which today has only limited availability.
• Meets transport purchasers’ environmental
demands. By using LNG, and above all LBG,
haulage companies will be able to meet their
customers’ increasingly tougher environmental
demands.
WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR ITS ESTABLISHMENT?
In order to establish LNG and grow its market
share, it is necessary to expand the infrastructure,
develop energy-efficient vehicles designed to run
on LNG, and create policy instruments that aid
market introduction.
Infrastructure: An interlinked network for
distribution and refuelling of LNG has to be built
along strategically important roads and at major
transhipment hubs. (In Europe initially along the
Trans-European Network.)
Vehicles: Volvo Trucks supports the continued
development of LNG as an automotive fuel.
In order to achieve good transport economy
combined with long operating range and low
climate impact, it is necessary to have vehicles
with higher energy efficiency than today’s gaspowered trucks.
Policy instruments: In order to help establish
LNG on the market it is vital for society to create
clear long-term rules as well as solid incentives
for infrastructure establishment and investment
in new vehicles. It is also essential that the fuel is
competitively priced.
VOLVO TRUCKS’ CONTRIBUTION
• With extensive experience, an overall view on
alternative fuels and state-of-the art technology,
Volvo drives and enables the development of
complete solutions for LNG as an automotive fuel.
• Volvo act as a knowledge-partner bringing
together stakeholders from all parts of the
value chain – from producers and infrastructure
suppliers to end-users.
• Volvo has developed a new engine for LNG that
still offers the diesel engine’s high efficiency
rating and driveability.
• The Volvo MethaneDiesel Euro VI engine has
about 15 per cent higher energy efficiency
than a conventional gas-powered (CNG) truck
powered by an Otto cycle engine.
• CO2 emissions are about 20 per cent lower
than for a corresponding diesel-powered truck.
(If LBG is used, the emissions are considerably
lower.)
• The Volvo MethaneDiesel Euro 6 engine is a fully
commercialised and quality-assured product
that will form an important part of Volvo’s
volume segment.
LNG is natural gas that has been cooled down
to below -162 degrees C, making the gas’s volume
about 600 times smaller. Today LNG is used
primarily for heating and industrial purposes, and
increasingly as an automotive fuel.

Celem firmy jest stworzenie odpowiednich
takich warunków dla transportu, które są do
utrzymania w dłuższej perspektywie czasu,
poprzez zastosowanie energooszczędnych,
konkurencyjnych i przyszłościowych rozwiązań o niskim wpływie na środowisko i klimat.
Dla samochodów ciężarowych w transporcie regionalnym i długodystansowym, metan
w postaci LNG to paliwo, które ma największą
możliwość stania się konkurencyjnym i alternatywnym dla oleju napędowego.
DLACZEGO LNG?
• Zmniejszona zależność od ropy: zwiększenie wykorzystania LNG zmniejszy zależność
ciężkiego dalekobieżnego transportu drogowego od ropy naftowej.
• Dobra dostępność: na świecie istnieje łatwa
dostępność LNG, które może być wytwarzane w dużych ilościach. Producenci i dystrybutorzy są pozytywne nastawieni na ideę
ustanowienia LNG jako paliwa samochodowego.
• Mały wpływ na klimat: ciężarówka używająca
gaz ziemny ma około 20% mniejszy wpływ
na środowisko, niż ta z silnikiem Diesla w zależności od wyboru technologii silników.
• Wystarczający zasięg operacyjny: z gazem
skroplonym jest możliwe zabranie dostatecznej ilości paliwa do jazdy na długich
dystansach bez zatrzymywania się na tankowanie nie mniej, niż co 500-1000 km.
• Konkurencyjne koszty paliwa: zarówno
koszty produkcji i ceny dla odbiorcy końcowego są dziś na ogół niższe dla gazu ziemnego, niż diesla, tworząc tym samym korzystne
warunki dla operatorów przewozowych, aby
obniżyć koszty paliwa.
• Otwarcie drzwi dla biogazu: infrastruktura
i pojazdy LNG torują drogę do większego
wykorzystania metanu ze źródeł odnawialnych (LBG lub RNG), który obecnie ma ograniczoną dostępność.
• Spełnia wymagania ochrony środowiska:
dzięki wykorzystaniu LNG, a przede wszystkim LBG, firmy przewozowe będą w stanie
sprostać coraz ostrzejszym wymaganiom
środowiskowym swoich klientów.
CZEGO POTRZEBA?
W celu rozwinięcia udziału LNG w rynku paliw, konieczne jest rozwinięcie infrastruktury,
rozwój energooszczędnych pojazdów zaprojektowanych do pracy na LNG oraz stworzenie
pomocowych instrumentów polityki.
Infrastruktura: trzeba zbudować powiązaną sieć dystrybucji i tankowania LNG wzdłuż
strategicznie ważnych dróg i przy głównych
węzłach przeładunkowych. (w Europie początkowo wzdłuż transeuropejskiej sieci).
Pojazdy: Volvo Trucks wspiera rozwój LNG
jako paliwa samochodowego. W celu uzyskania korzystnej gospodarki transportowej w połączeniu z niskim wpływie na klimat, konieczne
jest, aby pojazdy miały wyższą efektywność
energetyczną niż te obecnie zasilane gazem.
Instrumenty polityki: w celu ułatwienia
wprowadzania LNG na rynek istotne jest stworzenie jasnych długoterminowych zasad oraz
stałych bodźców służących utworzeniu infrastruktury i inwestycji w nowe pojazdy. Istotne
jest również to, żeby gaz był konkurencyjny
cenowo.
jakościowo produktem, który będzie stanowić ważną część segmentu sprzedaży Volvo.
LNG schłodzony do temperatury -162oC,
powoduje 600 razy mniejszą objętość gazu.
Dziś LNG jest wykorzystywany głównie do
celów grzewczych i przemysłowych, a coraz
częściej jako paliwa samochodowego.

Renewable Natural Gas Project
in Spain Targets Use for Transportation
G
AS NATURAL FENOSA: THIS NEW USE OF BIOGAS IS AN EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT OVER NORMAL ELECTRICAL PRODUCTION,
AS IT OBTAINS MUCH MORE ENERGY.
Renewable natural gas (RNG or biomethane) will fuel vehicles in the
fleet of the city of Pamplona’s County Council as part of a pilot project
presented this week by Gas Natural Fenosa and Spanish business group
Hera.
The latter company provides industry environmental services around
the globe. Additionally, the pilot project will analyse potential injection
into the distribution network.
The biogas at the wastewater treatment plant in Arazuri (Navarre)
comes from organic waste products obtained in the wastewater
treatment process. The resulting sludge is subjected to an anaerobic
digestion process which produces biomethane and compost. Since this
anaerobic digestion plant started up, the biogas has mainly been used
to produce electricity for self-supplying the facility.
This initiative has the support of NILSA (a public company attached to
the Government of Navarre), the public corporation Sodena, the private
companies FCC and TCC, and the Pamplona County Council.
The new technology that has been developed aims to use biogas in
heavy vehicles in the County Council’s fleet. This new use of biogas is an
efficiency improvement over normal electrical production, as it obtains
much more energy.
The project is one of the first of its kind in Spain in this field and is
being promoted by Gas Natural Fenosa in order to develop the market
for renewable gases, including biomethane. It fits in the context of the
fight against climate change, and specifically aims to find sustainable
alternatives to using diesel fuel, one of the main sources of pollutant
emissions.
After this pioneering Spanish pilot project for heavy vehicles is
completed, different factors such as the quality of the biogas obtained,
vehicle consumption and the production capacity will be analysed.
The information obtained may then be used to take decisions on the
possibility of extending this sustainable fuel to the entire County
Council fleet and the feasibility of injecting it into the natural gas mains.
Gas Natural Fenosa is currently participating in 7 projects to develop
technologies related to renewable gases, in which it collaborates
closely with important players in the Spanish and international sector
to promote the biomethane market.

Inicjatywa ma poparcie NILSA i Sodena - spółek zarządzanych przez
władze Nawarry, firm FCC i TCC oraz władz regionu Pampeluna.
Omawiany projekt jest jednym z pierwszych tego typu w Hiszpanii
i jest promowany przez firmę Gas Natural Fenosa w celu rozwoju
rynku gazów odnawialnych, w tym biometanu.
Wszystko odbywa się w ramach programu walki ze zmianami klimatu
i ma w szczególności na celu znalezienie trwałych alternatyw dla oleju
napędowego - jednego z głównych źródeł emisji zanieczyszczeń do
atmosfery.
Biogaz uzyskiwany w oczyszczalni ścieków w Arazuri (Nawarra)
pochodzi z organicznych produktów ubocznych uzyskanych
w procesie oczyszczania ścieków. Otrzymany osad poddaje się
beztlenowej fermentacji, która wytwarza biometan i kompost.
Do tej pory produkowany tam biogaz był głównie wykorzystywany do
produkcji energii elektrycznej dla samozaopatrzenia zakładu.
Nowa technologia, która została opracowana, ma na celu
wykorzystanie biogazu do napędu ciężkich pojazdów we flocie
regionu. Nowe wykorzystanie biogazu poprawi efektywność
produkcji energii elektrycznej.
Po zakończeniu wprowadzania tego pionierskiego rozwiązania dla
ciężkich pojazdów, szczegółowej analizie zostaną poddane różne
czynniki, takie jak m.in. jakość uzyskanego biogazu, jego zużycie w
pojazdach czy też zdolności produkcyjne zakładu.
Uzyskane informacje będą następnie wykorzystane do
podejmowania decyzji w kwestii możliwości rozszerzenia użytkowania
tego paliwa w całej flocie regionu oraz opcji doładowania biogazem
istniejących sieci gazowych.
Gas Natural Fenosa uczestniczy obecnie w siedmiu projektach
na rzecz rozwoju technologii związanych z gazami odnawialnymi
i ściśle współpracuje z ważnymi graczami w sektorze hiszpańskiego
i międzynarodowego rynku biometanu.

TALIAN NATURAL GAS TRUCK MANUFACTURER IVECO, MAGANETTI GROUP (A COLLECTIVE FOR LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT COMPANIES
IN THE PROVINCE OF SONDRIO) AND MINERAL WATER PRODUCERS LEVISSIMA-SANPELLEGRINO (NESTLÉ) HAVE OPENED A NEW LNGCNG STATION IN THE COMO LAKE REGION OF NORTHERN ITALY. SERVICING THE COMMUNITY OF VALTELLINA THIS IS THE 6TH LIQUEFIED
NATURAL GAS STATION OPEN FOR OPERATIONS IN ITALY.
Coordinated under the name of “LNG Valtellina Sostenibile Logistica”,
the project launch featured the new Iveco Stralis NP which was used to
draw attention to the benefits of LNG and promote natural gas as a heavy
transport fuel suited for long distance operations. Specifically presented
was the new model Stralis AS440S40T NP / P LNG. Equipped with the
400 hp Iveco Cursor 9 engine, EuroTronic gearbox and dual LNG tank
(with a capacity of 540 liters), the truck offers 1500 km trips between
refuelling.
The Maganetti Group, as the initiator of the project, seeks the replacement
of diesel fuel for the current automotive industry, with liquid methane,
a fuel that allows a drastic reduction of all pollution parameters. Maganetti’s
objective is to protect and preserve the environment of Valtellina with
cutting edge technology by providing access to the clean fuel alternative.
Iveco vehicles, powered by LNG which delivers energy efficiency similar
to traditional fuels, take advantage of the cost savings from utilising natural
gas fuel, thereby offsetting the cost of investment required to adopt the
new LNG technology.
The project will benefit from the new LNG-CNG station built by Ham
Italia, an Italian-Spanish company specializing in the design, construction
and infrastructure maintenance as well as transportation and marketing of
liquefied natural gas.
18
At the ceremony in December, a Daily Pop Iveco CNG minibus, offered to
the municipality of Gera Lario (Como Lake) by Renzo and Nuccia Maganetti
Foundation, was officially presented as a symbol of the commitment of
both companies toward sustainable logistics.
The Daily Pop CNG (model 50C14), designed for the Italian market, has 28
passenger seats + 1 driver seat + 1 hostess seat. It will transport students
from Gera Lario and refuel at its new local natural gas filling station.
In his speech, Matteo Lorenzo De Campo, CEO of Maganetti Group,
stressed the importance of the inauguration of the new LNG self-service
station, the first of its kind in Lombardy, which is unique insofar as it is
situated off the main freight route. He said this proves that this technology
can still thrive even in a region like the Valtellina – synonymous with nature
and mountain scenery – and is increasingly present where local industries
have at heart to preserve the environment in which they operate.
At the end of his speech, De Campo announced that several government
incentives have also allowed additional purchase of 13 new Stralis LNGfueled NP: the Maganetti Group now has 36 LNG-powered vehicles,
equivalent to 20% of the total fleet.

Cały projekt skoordynowany pod nazwą "LNG
Valtellina Sostenibile Logistica" wykorzystuje
model Iveco Stralis NP w celu zwrócenia uwagi
na korzyści płynące z używania LNG oraz służy do promowania gazu ziemnego jako paliwa
w ciężkim transporcie długodystansowym.
Zaprezentowano nowy model Stralis
AS440S40T NP/P LNG wyposażony w 400-konny silnik Iveco Cursor 9, skrzynię biegów EUROTRONIC, podwójny zbiornik LNG o pojemności
540 litrów. Pojazd w tej specyfikacji umożliwia
przejechanie dystansu 1500 km między tankowaniem.
Maganetti Group, jako inicjator projektu, dąży
do zastąpienia oleju napędowego w przemyśle
motoryzacyjnym - ciekłym metanem - paliwem,
które pozwala na drastyczną redukcję wszystkich parametrów zanieczyszczeń.
Z kolei Iveco, oferując pojazdy napędzane LNG
promuje korzyści finansowe i ekologiczne płynące z wykorzystania gazu w transporcie.
Nowa stacja została zbudowana przez włosko-hiszpańską firmę Ham Italia, specjalizującą się
w projektowaniu, budowie i utrzymaniu infrastruktury, a także transporcie i wprowadzaniu
na rynek skroplonego gazu ziemnego.
Podczas grudniowej ceremonii otwarcia,
gmina Gera Lario (Jezioro Como) otrzymała
w prezencie minibus Daily Pop Iveco CNG ufundowany przez Fundację Renzo i Nuccia Maganetti.
Miał to być symbol zaangażowania obu firm
w dziedzinie zrównoważonej logistyki.
The Daily CNG Pop (model 50C14), przeznaczony na rynek włoski posiada 28 miejsc
siedzących dla pasażerów i będzie służył do
przewozu uczniów z Gera Lario. Pojazd będzie
tankowany w nowo-otwartej stacji.
W swoim przemówieniu, Matteo Lorenzo De
Campo, CEO Maganetti Group, podkreślił znaczenie inauguracji nowej samoobsługowej stacji LNG, pierwszej w Lombardii. Stwierdził, że jej
powstanie dowodzi, że technologia LNG może
się nadal rozwijać nawet w górskim regionie,
a wszystko to po to, by chronić środowisko
naturalne.
Na zakończenie swojego wystąpienia,
De Campo ogłosił, że rządowe programy wsparcia umożliwiły regionowi zakup dodatkowych
13 nowych pojazdów Stralis LNG.
Grupa Maganetti ma teraz 36 pojazdów LNG,
co stanowi 20% całej floty.

Dr. Andersen: Volkswagen ist sich seiner Verantwortung
bewusst, seinen Beitrag zur Dekarbonisierung auf dem
Verkehrssektor und zur Luftreinhaltung in Städten
zu leisten. Dazu dient auch der massive Ausbau der
Elektromobilität. Es genügt aber aus unserer Sicht nicht,
alles allein auf die
Karte E-Mobilität zu setzen.
Wir brauchen in Deutschland eine zweite, ökologisch
gleichwertige Alternative für diejenigen Menschen, für
die ein Elektro-Fahrzeug nicht in Betracht kommt, die aber
ihren Beitrag zum Klimaschutz und zur Luftreinhaltung
leisten wollen, ohne dafür mehr zahlen zu müssen. Diese
Alternative stellt die CNG-Mobilität dar - da sind sich alle
Fachexperten einig.
Dies gilt auch für biogene Beimischungen beim Diesel. Man
ist nicht rückwärtskompatibel, wenn man die Bioquote erhöht.
Das ist bei einem Erdgasmotor nicht der Fall. Dieser kann sowohl
mit rein fossilem als auch mit reinem Biomethan, respektive E-Gas,
und jedem Mischungsverhältnis dazwischen betrieben werden.
So wie es dem Elektrofahrzeug egal ist, ob der Strom fossilen oder
regenerativen Ursprungs ist.

Es gibt keinen Kohlenwasserstoff, der so sauber verbrennt wie
Methan, und über den Ersatz langkettiger Kohlenwasserstoffe oder
Kohle im Falle der Energiegewinnung kann schon fossiles Methan
einen erheblichen Beitrag zur Luftreinhaltung und zum Klimaschutz
leisten.
Es ist außerdem der breiten Öffentlichkeit nicht bekannt, dass
durch eine Zumischung von regenerativ erzeugtem Methan, also
Biomethan oder E-Gas, ein Erdgasfahrzeug bereits heute nahezu
CO2-neutral betrieben werden kann.

gas pipelines to refuelling stations owned and
operated by CNG Fuels where it is compressed into
fuel. It is 35%-40% cheaper than diesel and emits
70% less CO2, on a well-to-wheel basis, offering
fleet operators the opportunity to cut costs and
report dramatic reductions in carbon emissions.
Philip Fjeld, CEO of CNG Fuels, said: “Renewable
and sustainably sourced biomethane is the most costeffective and lowest-carbon alternative to diesel for
HGVs and is attracting increasing interest. We are
expanding our refuelling infrastructure nationwide
to help fleet operators save money, cut carbon and
clean up our air. We are proud to be the first company
in the UK to offer its customers RTFO approved
biomethane, and pleased to be able to do so at the
same price as fossil fuel gas.”
Justin Laney, General Manager Central Transport,
John Lewis Partnership, said: “We are committed to
reducing our carbon emissions and playing our part
in tackling climate change. Renewable biomethane
gives us the opportunity to make our fleet cleaner
and quieter and, with significant cost savings, there
is a compelling business case to switch from diesel”.

CNG Fuels is targeting operators of high-mileage
HGVs, who stand to make the biggest financial
savings and carbon impact. HGVs account for 4.2%
of UK carbon emissions and 127,000 articulated
vehicles travel an average 49,000 miles a year, with
many travelling much further.
Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation RTFO), and
generates Renewable Transport Fuel Certificates
(RTFC). The fuel qualifies for these because it is
sourced from anaerobic digestion plants which
are not supported by the Renewable Heat
Incentive or other subsidy schemes.
Its customers’ vehicles typically travel 125,000
miles a year. Gas trucks cost more than diesel, but
for HGVs doing this mileage fuel savings can repay
the extra cost within 2-3 years.
A typical articulated diesel HGV driving 125,000
miles a year emits 100 times more CO2 than
a typical passenger vehicle, so carbon savings
from switching to biomethane are significant.
The Solihull-based company is the UK’s only
dedicated provider of public access CNG refuelling
infrastructure. It operates the UK’s two highest
capacity CNG stations, in Leyland, Lancashire, and
Crewe, Cheshire.
Customers will be issued with a certificate
stating that they have purchased sustainable,
renewable fuel and setting out its carbon content.
Including fuel duty, biomethane CNG typically
sells at 65p/kg (the equivalent of 49p/litre for
diesel), before VAT. Prices are lower for bulk
customers.
CNG Fuels is developing a nationwide network
of refuelling stations on major trunking routes
fed by the high-pressure gas grid, compressing
gas into fuel at point of delivery. Low processing,
transportation and electricity costs make CNG
a low-cost, clean solution. The company is also
developing ‘daughter’ stations in customer
depots within 100 miles of its ‘mother’ stations
and will deliver gas by trailer at similar cost.
CNG Fuels has sourced enough biomethane to
cover its entire CNG fuel supply. It is made from
food production waste, approved under the
CNG gas engines meet the latest Euro-6 air
quality standards and are roughly 50% quieter
than diesel engines. The fuel is popular with
drivers because it usually takes less than five
minutes to refuel and the closed system means
there is no risk of spillage.
CNG is a common fuel in many parts of the
world. In the US it has gradually displaced
LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), which uses an
incompatible technology. The country has 1,729
public and private CNG stations compared with
141 LNG stations. Gas engines are now available
in the US which emit virtually no nitrogen dioxide
and low levels of particulates, in contrast to diesel.

Chevrolet and GMC
expand alternative fuel fleet offerings; expanded CNG/LPG lineup
C
HEVROLET AND GMC ARE PARTNERING WITH POWER SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. TO INTRODUCE HEAVY-DUTY PICKUPS AND FULLSIZE VANS POWERED BY 6.0-LITER V-8 COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS AND LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS-CAPABLE ENGINES STARTING IN THE
FIRST QUARTER OF 2017. CHEVROLET ALSO WILL OFFER CNG AND LPG VERSIONS OF ITS NEW LOW CAB FORWARD COMMERCIAL TRUCK.
The announcement follows the selection of PSI, based in Wood Dale, Illinois, as
General Motors Fleet’s preferred upfitter for CNG and LPG trucks. PSI is one of
North America’s largest and most experienced providers of integrated turn-key,
alternative-fuel powertrain solutions.
Ship-through will be offered,
allowing customers to order and take
delivery from the same dealer. GM
will supply vehicles equipped with
the 6.0L V-8 engine with hardened
valves and valve seats to PSI, which
in turn will install the fuel system and
other hardware and ship directly to
Chevrolet and GMC dealers in all 50
states. All PSI-modified vehicles are
covered by Chevrolet and GMC’s fiveyear/60,000-mile (whichever comes
first) limited powertrain warranty.
The expanded lineup brings GM
Fleet’s portfolio of alternative
fuel, hybrid and EVs to more than
a dozen trucks, cars and crossovers.
Other recent additions include the
Chevrolet Bolt EV; a Duramax 2.8-liter
B20-capable Duramax diesel for the
Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana
vans; and all-new available 6.6-liter
B20-capable Duramax diesel engines
for the Chevrolet Silverado HD and
GMC Sierra HD.

GM Fleet’s partnership with PSI
follows customer demand and
ongoing investment by companies
across the nation in CNG refueling
infrastructure.
This month, the US Department
of Transportation’s Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) announced
55 routes that will serve as the basis
for a national network of “alternative
fuel” corridors spanning 35 states.
Though the network is nearly 85,000
miles long, more miles will be added in
the future to accommodate electric,
hydrogen, propane and natural gas
vehicles as additional fueling and
charging stations are built.

NGV development stands alongside EV
as ‘ecologically equivalent’ prime pillars
of focus for the global auto manufacturer.
According to Andersen:
•
Attractive CNG vehicles will stimulate
vehicle adoption by corporations
•Engines that operate on natural gas are able
to also operate on 100% renewable natural
gas (biomethane) and e-gas, unlike some
alt-fuels where considerable engineering
intervention is required to increase the
renewable fuel percentage.
•Affordable NGVs are available right now, and
represent an economic ecological choice for
buyers waiting for EV’s to drop in price.
•Volkswagen has much to learn from
studying the current Italian action plan,
a collaboration between the automotive
manufacturers and gas suppliers, which calls
for a tripling of NGV numbers and doubling
of natural gas filling stations.
Andersen says not enough has been
done to promote the NGV message.
In his view, marketing needs to promote
the environmental profile of natural gas
as a fuel for transportation, especially for
renewable methane. Even at a base level,
methane is the cleanest burning of all
hydrocarbon fuels, making a significant
contribution to air pollution and climate
protection. Virtually CO2-neutral fuel
is available as biomethane, renewable
natural gas, BioCNG and other names in
several countries.
In a ‘watch this space’ comment,
Dr. Andersen said Volkswagen is currently
preparing ‘new marketing and mobility
concepts’, especially for metropolitan
regions, that fleet operators in particular
will find attractive.

DLACZEGO VOLKSWAGEN WIDZI W TYM NAPĘDZIE
WYSOKI POTENCJAŁ NA PRZYSZŁOŚĆ.
Dr Andersen: Volkswagen jest świadomy swojej odpowiedzialności. Wnosimy swój wkład w dekarbonizację
w sektorze transportowym oraz w utrzymanie czystości
powietrza w miastach. Służy temu także masywny rozwój
na polu samochodów z napędem elektrycznym. Jednak
z naszego punktu widzenia nie wystarczy stawiać wszystkiego na jedną kartę - czyli na mobilność elektryczną. W Niemczech potrzebujemy drugiej, ekologicznie równoważnej oferty. Dla tych klientów, dla których w grę nie
wchodzą pojazdy elektryczne, ale którzy chcieliby także
wnieść swój wkład w ochronę klimatu oraz utrzymanie
czystości powietrza, bez dopłacania z własnej kieszeni.
Taką alternatywę stanowi technologia CNG, w tej kwestii
zgodni są wszyscy eksperci.

SAMOCHODY ELEKTRYCZNE W PRZYSTĘPNEJ CENIE I MAJĄCE DUŻY ZASIĘG,
NIŻ KUPIĆ SOBIE SAMOCHÓD NA GAZ ZIEMNY?
Pogratulowałbym mu decyzji i zapytał o powody. O ile motywacja zakupu samochodu elektrycznego jest natury ekologicznej, powiedziałbym, że dziś może zrobić on już o wiele więcej dla środowiska, przeczekując ten okres jeżdżąc
samochodem na gaz ziemny, który jest napędzany w 100% gazem
ekologicznym. Dzięki temu już dziś mógłby wnieść swój wkład
w proces dekarbonizacji oraz utrzymania czystości powietrza
w miastach, a to wszystko przy niższych kosztach eksploatacji, niż
w przypadku jego aktualnego samochodu, nieważne czy z silnikiem
benzynowym czy Diesla.

DLACZEGO MARKI NALEŻĄCE DO KONCERNU MAJĄ

Dotyczy to także biogennych domieszek w przypadku Diesla.
Nie można uzyskać kompatybilności wstecznej, jeżeli zwiększa się
udział bioskładników. Tak się jednak nie dzieje w przypadku silników na
gaz ziemny. Można je napędzać zarówno czysto kopalnianym gazem,
ale także czystym biometanem, względnie gazem E, a nawet z każdą,
dowolną mieszanką tych składników. To tak, jak dla samochodu elektrycznego nie robi różnicy, czy prąd pochodzi ze źródeł tradycyjnych
czy odnawialnych.

Tak, pracujemy bardzo intensywnie nad nowymi strategiami sprzedaży
i mobilności, a co za tym idzie przygotujemy specjalną ofertę atrakcyjnych produktów dla przewoźników z niemieckich regionów metropolitalnych. Oferta ta przebije wszystkie dotychczasowe propozycje.
Jednak na chwilę obecną nie mogę więcej na ten temat zdradzić.
SKODA CITIGO, VOLKSWAGEN CADDY MAXI LUB NIEDŁUGO AUDI A5
G-TRON - KTÓRY Z SAMOCHODÓW NA GAZ ZIEMNY JEST PANA FAWORYTEM?
Patrzę na tę kwestię podobnie, jak ojciec, pytany o to, którą z córek najbardziej lubi: rodzic kocha wszystkie swoje córki jednakowo.
W takiej samej sytuacji jestem ja, jeśli chodzi o ofertę naszych samochodów na gaz ziemny. Każdy z tych samochodów jest synonimem
ekologicznie odpowiedzialnej mobilności oraz wyróżnia się innymi
właściwościami i zaletami.

W 2015 ROKU LICZBA ZAREJESTROWANYCH W NIEMCZECH POJAZDÓW
NA GAZ ZIEMNY PO RAZ PIERWSZY SPADŁA. CZY JEST TO POCZĄTEK
KOŃCA?
Jeżeli w Niemczech stawialibyśmy wszystko na jedną kartę, czyli na mobilność elektryczną, a w przypadku mobilności na gaz
ziemny siedzielibyśmy z założonymi rękoma, wtedy byłby to
koniec mobilności na gaz ziemny. Jednak do tego nie dojdzie.
Przykład Włoch pokazuje aż nazbyt wyraźnie, że może być inaczej. We Włoszech państwo, przemysł samochodowy i gazowy
wspólnie opracowali plan działania i osiągnęli przełom w zakresie gazu ziemnego, jako paliwa. Włochy zamierzają trzykrotnie
zwiększyć liczbę pojazdów i podwoić liczbę stacji benzynowych.
My, jako koncern Volkswagena zamierzamy wyciągnąć z tego wnioski
i lepiej działać niż dotychczas.
W CZYM WIDZI PAN MOCNE STRONY SAMOCHODÓW
NA GAZ ZIEMNY W PORÓWNANIU Z SAMOCHODAMI NA
BENZYNĘ I DIESEL Z JEDNEJ STRONY ORAZ NAPĘDAMI
ELEKTRYCZNYMI Z DRUGIEJ?
Siłą pojazdów napędzanych na gaz ziemny, czyli metan,
tak na marginesie najprostszy węglowodór o korzystnym
stosunku węgla do wodoru, a mianowicie 1 do 4, jest ich
przyszłościowość. Udział metanu wyprodukowanego
w sposób zgodny z zasadami zrównoważonego rozwoju,
czyli biometanu lub metanu z instalacji typu Power to
Gas, można zwiększyć do 100%, bez negatywnego wpływu na silnik.
Porównując domieszki etanolu w przypadku benzyny:
chcąc zwiększyć domieszkę etanolu z np. E10 do E20 konieczne byłoby dokonanie zmian technicznych w silnikach, a użytkowanie czystego etanolu, jak np. w Brazylii,
wymaga jeszcze większych zmian.
KTÓRY Z ASPEKTÓW PANA ZDANIEM JEST ZA MAŁO BRANY POD UWAGĘ
W PUBLICZNEJ DEBACIE, JEŚLI CHODZI O NAPĘDY NA GAZ ZIEMNY
W PRZYPADKU SAMOCHODÓW OSOBOWYCH I LEKKICH POJAZDÓW
TRANSPORTOWYCH?
Według mojej opinii aspekt ochrony środowiska jest traktowany
za mało poważnie. Dotyczy to nie tylko sektora transportowego, ale
wszystkich ogólnie: nie ma takiego węglowodoru, który spalałby się tak
czysto jak metan, a w przypadku zamiany węglowodorów długołańcuchowych lub węgli w celu pozyskiwania energii już stosowanie metanu
kopalnianego wnosi znaczny wkład w zachowanie czystości powietrza
i ochronę klimatu.
Poza tym opinia publiczna nie wie, że dzięki domieszce metanu
pozyskanego ze źródeł odnawialnych, czyli biometanu lub gazu E,
samochód na gaz ziemny może dziś jeździć praktycznie bez wydzielania CO2.

ISO standards
for CNG and LNG
fuelling stations
ISO
HAS PUBLISHED 2 INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS THAT WILL PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE ALTERNATIVE FUELS
INFRASTRUCTURE. THE PUBLICATION OF ISO 16923 AND ISO 16924 RESPECTIVELY ENABLES ENTITIES TO APPLY BROADLY SUPPORTED
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF CNG AND LNG FUELLING STATIONS.
ISO 16923 and ISO 16924 fall under the
mandate of ISO/PC 252 – Natural gas fuelling
stations for vehicles.
ISO 16923:2016
ISO 16923:2016 covers the design,
construction, operation, inspection and
maintenance of stations for fuelling CNG to
vehicles, including equipment, safety and
control devices. It also applies to portions
of a fuelling station where natural gas is in a
gaseous state and dispensing CNG derived
from liquefied natural gas (LCNG) according
to ISO 16924. The standard is inclusive of
biomethane, upgraded coal-bed methane
(CBM) and gas supplies coming from LNG
vaporization (on-site or off-site). 16923:2016 is
based on the condition that the gas entering
the fuelling station is odorized.
ISO 16924:2016
ISO 16924:2016 specifies the design,
construction, operation, maintenance and
inspection of stations for fuelling LNG to
vehicles, including equipment, safety and
control devices. It also specifies the design,
construction, operation, maintenance and
inspection of fuelling stations for using
LNG as an onsite source for fuelling CNG to
vehicles (LCNG fuelling stations), including
safety and control devices of the station and
specific LCNG fuelling station equipment. The
standard is inclusive of all equipment from
the LNG storage tank filling connection up to
the fuelling nozzle on the vehicle. The LNG
storage tank filling connection itself and the
vehicle fuelling nozzle are not covered in this
document.
28
DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
NGV Global has played a key role since
inception of these standards. In 2007 UN and
ISO
co-organized a Roundtable on harmonization
of standards for gaseous fueled vehicles, held
in Geneva. The idea for this coordinated effort
came from NGV Global, at that time known as
IANGV.
At the meeting several standardization gaps
were detected (NGV Global prepared a Gap
Analysis which was presented at the meeting).
UN and ISO agreed to promote the adoption of
standards generated as a result of this meeting.
Shortly thereafter, NGV Global submitted
work proposals to ISO for standards for CNG
and LNG fueling stations. The kickoff meeting
was held in January 2008 in Zurich, and resulted
in the creation of ISO PC252 and two working
groups: WG1 for CNG fueling stations and
WG2 for LNG and LCNG stations. NGV Global
proposed the leaders for these groups (PC252
Chair: Martin Seifert, WG1: Diego Goldin,
and WG2: Vaclav Chrz). NEN (Netherlands
Standardization Institute) agreed to carry the
burden of being Secretariat to this Project
Committee. Co-Convenors were designated
by the Committee to expand the support: Erik
Bükther and Philippe Fauvel.
NGV Global has been involved throughout
the process, and increased participation and
influence after the appointment of Diego
Goldin as NGV Global Executive Director.
Members of the committee have recently
asked the international association to propose
new work items for the Committee.
“NGV Global is very happy to have been an
important factor in achieving these two very
important standards, required by the Global
community” - says Goldin. “They will promote
safety while avoiding conflicting requirements
that would only increase costs and generate
barriers to the global implementation of
gas as a sustainable and economic fuel for
transportation.”
IMPLEMENTATION
In a related press release, NEN explains the
European Commission published the Directive
on the deployment of alternative fuels
infrastructure (2014/94/EU) in 2014.
This
Directive
refers
to
technical
specifications for infrastructure that should be
established in European standards with respect
to interoperability aspects. For this reason,
the European Commission has requested the
European organisations for standardization:
CEN and CENELEC to develop these standards
including CNG and LNG fuelling stations.
European stakeholders have indicated that
ISO 16923 and ISO 16924 will be adequate to
be adopted as European standard, and with
that as national standard in the 34 countries
that are member of CEN. This adoption process
will be initiated in 2017.
“Europe and Argentina are already using
these recently published standards in their
standardization processes” - Goldin says.

SML Isuzu CNG in India
I
NDIAN COMMERCIAL VEHICLE MANUFACTURER SML ISUZU, HEADQUARTERED IN CHANDIGARH, HAS DELIVERED ITS FIRST CNG VEHICLE
IN RAJASTHAN’S CAPITAL CITY OF JAIPUR - THE SARTAJ HG 72 TRUCK. THE COMPANY SEEKS TO CAPITALIZE ON CNG INFRASTRUCTURE
BEING BUILT BY RAJASTHAN STATE GAS LTD (RSGL) ALONG THE JAIPUR-DELHI HIGHWAY AND PROMOTE CNG TRANSPORTATION
AS A COST-EFFECTIVE FUEL.
RSGL has already set up a mother station at Neemrana with a capacity to
service 250 cars or 50 trucks daily. A second, larger station is planned for
Neemrana also, able to refuel up to 250 trucks daily. Yet another station
has been set up in Kukkas.
The rollout of CNG refuelling stations is part of the Rajasthan
government’s strategy to create gas infrastructure for provision to
domestic, automotive, commercial and industrial customers.
Ravi Agarwal, managing director of RSGL, says there is more to come:
“The CNG vehicle launch by SML Isuzu in Jaipur is the first by any company in
the state. In order to further encourage the adoption of CNG-powered vehicles,
we are planning to set up two more stations along the Jaipur-Delhi highway.
An MoU has already been signed with the Indian Oil Corporation which will
facilitate the two stations at its retail outlets.”
RSGL is also planning to expand the network from Jaipur to Kota, Baran
and Jhalawar.
There are significant benefits for operators. CNG vehicles on a roundtrip from Jaipur to Delhi have the potential to save more than USD 8,000
in annual operating costs (based on 20 trips per month), brought about
by exemption from the ‘green tax’ levied by the government on vehicles
powered by conventional fuels and fuel savings at the pump. Additionally,
operators typically save about 5% on annual maintenance costs, RSGL
says.
As the National Green tribunal is now planning to retire diesel vehicles
of 15-years or more in Delhi, there is expectation that more and more
cities will look to natural gas as a cleaner, more economical transport fuel.
Agarwal says there are already many CNG-powered vehicles available
right now in India and, given the increasing concern over rising pollution
levels, cities should begin the transition now.

Jeeto CNG
I
NDYJSKI PRODUCENT SAMOCHODÓW MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA
WPROWADZIŁ NOWY NA RYNEK NOWY WARIANT NAPĘDU
– CNG DLA ISTNIEJĄCEGO MODELU MAHINDRA JEETO, LEKKIEGO
SAMOCHODU DOSTAWCZEGO.
Jeeto z CNG oznaczony jest jako X7-16, ma długość 3,581 mm, szerokość 1,485 mm i rozstaw osi 2500 mm. Waga pojazdu to 1,485 kg (DMC).
Auto może przewozić 900 kg ładunku. Producent reklamuje je jako najlepsze w swojej klasie.
Auto posiada 2-letnią gwarancję lub 40.000 km przebiegu (co nastąpi
wcześniej). Zamontowano w nim zbiornik CNG o pojemności 45 litrów,
który pozwala na przejechanie (w zależności od masy ładunku) - prawie
200 km.
Jak podano na stronie internetowej firmy, CNG Jeeto jest wyposażony
w silnik 625cc, który generuje 11,9 kW (16 KM) przy @ 3600 rpm i 38
Nm momentu obrotowego przy 1200 rpm-2200. Auto jest wyposażone
w 4-biegową manualną skrzynię biegów. Silnik jest zgodny z normą emisji
Stage Bharat BS-IV (odpowiednik Euro 6). W Indiach, różne normy emisji
są wprowadzane w życie zgodnie z harmonogramem i standardami określonymi przez jednostkę o nazwie Central Pollution Control Board, która
wchodzi w Ministerstwa Środowiska, Leśnictwa i Zmian Klimatu.
Model Jeeto zaprezentowany w czerwcu 2015 początkowo był w wersji
benzynowej. Mówi się, że jest pierwszym produktem w historii w swojej
kategorii mini-ciężarówki poniżej 1 tony, który może zaspokoić zróżnicowane potrzeby klientów. Auto jest dostępne w serii S, L & X, co obejmuje
kategorię zarezerwowaną dotychczas dla trójkołowców, mikro-samochodów ciężarowych i mini-dostawczaków.
Auto z napędem CNG jest oferowane tylko jako X7, czyli z górnej granicy
zakresu wielkości. Jego cena wynosi USD 5200 (przy INR 3,49 lakh).

Shri. Dharmendra Pradhan also launched e-wallet payments which can
be used at the time of filling CNG, thus supporting and working towards
the objective of making India a cashless economy.
In the last few years CNG powered vehicles have grown in Mumbai
Metropolitan Region at a CAGR of over 70% given the fuel economics and
eco-friendly nature of CNG.
The CNG kit for two wheelers comprises of two CNG cylinders of 1.2 kg
each, which can run 120 to 130 km per kg per fill at an approximate cost
of INR 0.60 (less than USD 1 cent) per km. In the initial phase, the scooters
shall be retrofitted with a CNG kit manufactured by Lovato.
30
Presently two kit manufacturers namely M/s ITUK & M/s Lovato have
got two-wheeler CNG kits approved by ARAI, Pune and ICAT Gurgaon
respectively. Lovato has got approval for 18 Scooter models of various
OEMs present in the market. Considering the huge potential of this
segment other kit manufacturers are also planning to launch their twowheeler kits.
The following original equipment manufacturers have models approved
for conversion to CNG: Hero, Honda, Mahindra, Suzuki, TVS, Vespa and
Yamaha — 18 models in total in the state of Maharastra.
MGL says the linear average distance among CNG stations across MMR
in the given zone is as follows:
• Western: 1.52 KM
• Central: 1.47 KM
• Navi Mumbai: 3.2 KM
• Kalyan, Dombivali, Ambernath and Badlapur (KDAB): 4.5 KM
The present infrastructure spread has the capacity of dispensing more

Spanish LNG-for-Trains Project
Approaches Testing Phase
R
ENFE (SPAIN’S NATIONAL RAIL NETWORK), GAS NATURAL FENOSA AND ENAGÁS, IN COLLABORATION WITH INSTITUT CERDÀ (A PRIVATE
ENGINEERING INNOVATOR IN BARCELONA), ARMF (A SPECIALISED RAILWAYS RESTORATION WORKSHOP) AND CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY
BUREAU VERITAS ARE PREPARING FIRST TRACTION TESTS IN EUROPE OF A TRAIN POWERED BY LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS. IT MAY ALSO BE
THE FIRST IN THE WORLD TO TEST LNG ON A PASSENGER TRAIN.
The innovation project will examine the feasibility of retrofitting diesel
rail vehicles for operation with LNG engines and tanks and associated
technical, legal, economic and environmental analysis for the Spanish and
European rail network.
The project, coordinated by Institut Cerdà and joined by ARMF as a rail
integrator and Bureau Veritas as a company specialized in inspection
and certification, is part of the Strategy for boosting the Vehicle with
Alternative Energies (VEA) in Spain 2014-2020, in Line with the object and
scope of Directive 2014/94 on the implementation of an infrastructure
for alternative fuels in Europe.
One of the two diesel engines in a 1 000 mm gauge two-car Class 2600
DMU is to be replaced with an LNG engine, to enable a direct comparison
between diesel and LNG traction. The modified DMU will operate over
a 20 km section of the former FEVE network between Trubia and Figaredo
in the Asturias region of northern Spain.
The agreement foresees the development of the pilot test with a LNG
engine in a self-propelled diesel train of the Feve diesel park (2600)
in a stretch of about 20 kilometers between the stations of Trubia and
Baiña with extension to Figaredo, in Asturias. The diesel engine of one of
the two paired automotive units will be replaced by one that will consume
natural gas for its propulsion and the LNG storage tanks and associated
auxiliary elements will be installed. By this means it will be possible to
contrast results for both diesel and gas technology.
From this road test, conclusions will be drawn on the technical
requirements of space, weight, refrigeration, and autonomy for
the traction of natural gas, in addition to other considerations and
comparative variables in emissions and operating economy.
POSSIBLE ADVANTAGES OF LNG AS AN ALTERNATIVE FUEL
The advantages that the use of natural gas can have as a rail fuel are
due to several factors. It can contribute to lowering environmental
pollution by reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides,
particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide (CO), noise pollution and
greenhouse gases, as well as open options for possible new environmental
requirements in the railway sector.
From the economic point of view, it can contribute to reduced operating
costs by a better overall price scenario with respect to petroleumbased fuels, reduce energy dependence from this source and offer an
alternative to the investment in electrification of non-electrified sections.
32
Finally, Spain has long experience in LNG management and its logistics
is being considered within the framework of action developed by the
Ministries of Industry and Development under the Community directives,
factors that can guarantee security of supply for this market potential.
Renfe, Gas Natural Fenosa and Enagás are also evaluating the possibility
of presenting a second phase of this project to the European Commission’s
call for proposals under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) program.
The proposal fits with the CEF mandate aimed at supporting, financing
and subsidization of Innovative Projects in terms of environmental
improvement of the transport systems of European railway corridors.
PROJECT HISTORY
In early 2013, CEPSA (Compañía Española de Petróleos, S.A.U.
- a Spanish multinational oil and gas company), Enagas and Gas Natural
Fenosa commissioned the Institut Cerdà to evaluate the technical, legal
and economical implementation of LNG as a rail traction fuel. The study
identified some technical and legal barriers, all potentially surmountable,
and confirmed the economic viability of the initiative. The last quarter of
2013 began a second phase of the establishment of a working group with
representation from the gas, rail and technology, with the aim of defining
a pilot project to implement railway traction with LNG the Spanish
network and test their viability real.
In March 2014 began the third phase, focused on the realization of
the pilot. In July 2015, a consortium of companies signed a cooperation
agreement for the implementation of the pilot. The consortium was
formed by Enagas, Gas Natural Fenosa, Renfe, ARMF, Bureau Veritas and
Institut Cerdà. The project also gained the support of HAM (cryogenic
tanks), Cummins (LNG engine) and CIDAUT NERTATEC (emission
monitoring), Adif (administrator of railway infrastructure) and the State
Railway Safety Agency.

Notes & Related Articles
Gas Natural Fenosa works on sustainable mobility solutions based on natural
gas in maritime and land transport. In the terrestrial field it already has about
30 refueling stations in Spain and collaborates in several European projects
(Garnet, Bestways and LNG Blue Corridors) to create a network of LNG and CNG
supply points to supply the vehicles on Europe’s main transportation routes.
In the maritime sector, it participates in several initiatives that promote the use
of natural gas, among which the agreement with Balearia stands out for the
installation of an engine that uses natural gas in the Abel Matutes ferry, which
covers the Barcelona-Palma de Mallorca route. In addition, it participates in
the Core LNG Gas Hive project, in which LNG is used as a tractor element in the
container haulage cranes of the Port of Barcelona.
