The facility, located in northeast England, can refuel 500 heavy goods vehicles per day and, when fully utilized, will cut 67,500 t/yr of GHG emissions, equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 40,000 cars. Aldi, UK’s fifth-largest supermarket, is the latest major brand to adopt bio-CNG trucks and is among many other household brands to use the new station.
The 14 vehicles with fuel cell propulsion belong to Landesnahverkehrsgesellschaft Niedersachsen (LNVG). LNVG had already started looking for alternatives to diesel trains in 2012 and thus provided momentum for the development of the trains in Germany. Other project partners are the Elbe-Weser railways and transport company (evb) and Linde.
The grant awards – made under FTA’s Buses and Bus Facilities and Low- and No-Emission Vehicle programs – are FTA’s first competitive grant selections under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The programs support the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to expand the nation’s transportation infrastructure, create and maintain good-paying jobs, and fight climate change.
The companies plan to leverage their complementary alternative fuel capabilities and pursue business opportunities together which can lower net fuel costs and reduce carbon emissions for their customers. Galileo’s equipment can enable the monetization of natural gas from any source by converting it into low carbon renewable natural gas, CNG or LNG.
Through thorough R&D, the AVTR UF3522 has been validated to work on optimal capacity for the Indian operating conditions. The truck also provides an option of double LNG tank, providing highest ever mileage of 1500 plus kilometers in a single fill, and can be further expanded for multiple purposes and applications ranging from 19 ton to 42 ton.
American CNG and Sand Revolution’s new partnership includes 150 DEMI Diesel Displacer™ conversions on Sand Revolution’s existing diesel fleet with the potential of additional conversions at a future date. It will be the first large-scale conversion utilizing renewable natural gas in the Permian Basin.
Nutribras Alimentos uses renewable natural gas as fuel for the first truck powered by biomethane from a pig farm in Brazil.
Since 2001, the company’s pig farms have been using biodigesters to generate energy and treat organic waste, transforming environmental liabilities into two powerful environmental assets: biogas that generates electricity and biofertilizer that serves as organic fertilizer for soybean crops and corn
Fleet companies have begun making investments in electric and hydrogen powered vehicles and expect to continue to do so in the next few years. The survey was released as part of a new white paper from eTA, called “Sustainable Fuels in Trucking: The Greening of America’s Trucking Industry.”
The new vehicle boasts of unmatched range of up to 400km with best-in-class mileage of 35.1 km/kg. When combined with its industry-leading load carrying capacity of 650kg, it is ideally positioned to boost profitability and deliver improved prosperity to the customers. It has been developed to cater to the evolving last-mile connectivity and logistics needs of transporters.
The YPF Operators Association, through its Gas commission, promoter of the measure, welcomed the approval of the “NGV1 device” for fast refueling of CNG in heavy vehicles and considered it an advance for the future growth of the NGV market in heavy vehicles.
