Baltic Biogas Bus Project Lennart Hallgren Project Manager www.balticbiogasbus.eu 1 The Challenge Climate changes – global warming www.balticbiogasbus.eu 2 Most leaders and scientists Global concensus 1973 • Climate is humanity’s biggest challenge for the future • Huge commitments have to be made globally to reduce the green house effect. www.balticbiogasbus.eu 2003 North pole 3 Traffic, a strong green house driver • Reducing the CO2 emissions from traffic will be crucial in order to avoid future climate catastrophes. www.balticbiogasbus.eu 4 How to reduce oil dependency and fossil CO2 emissions from traffic? Only three options available • Curb the uncontrolled growth of transport • Increase energy efficiency • Increase use of bio fuels. www.balticbiogasbus.eu 5 Public transport, part of the solution • More attractive public transport services to increase market share • Increased sustainability within the public transport system www.balticbiogasbus.eu 6 The Project: Baltic Biogas Bus A project to stimulate the use of biogas as fuel for city buses aiming to reduce environmental impact. www.balticbiogasbus.eu 7 Baltic Sea Region program 2007–2013 The Baltic Sea Region: an attractive region to invest, work and live in The BSR strategy focuses on four areas: environment, economy, accessibility and security The Baltic Biogas Bus project is one of approx 45 projects in the BSR program www.balticbiogasbus.eu Photo: SL/Jan E Svensson 8 Part of the Climate Change Strategy In an efficient strategy to limit the impact from traffic on climate change, extended use of biogas for city buses will - lower emissions - improve inner city air quality - strengthen the role of public transport Photo: SL/Mikael Hedlund www.balticbiogasbus.eu 2017-05-24 9 Goals and budget • Generate regional strategies to introduce biogas bus operations • Analyse necessary measures in biogas production, distribution and bus operations • Conduct activities to facilitate further expansion. • Period: • Budget: • Financing: 2009–2012. 4,2 MEUR. Partly by the EU fund (ERDF).

Biogas is the only commercially available 2nd generation bio fuel Photo: SL/Jan E Svensson www.balticbiogasbus.eu 11 A challenge to disseminate knowledge • Sharing of knowledge is crucial for a successful implementation of the climate change strategy. • To disseminate the benefits of biogas as a fuel for buses is an important part of the project www.balticbiogasbus.eu 12 12 partners around the Baltic Sea SL, Stockholm Public Transport, Sweden Biogas East, Energy Agency Malardalen Ruter, Public Transport for Oslo and Akershus, Norway HOG Energy, the fuel interest organisation for Bergen region Hordaland County Council, Skyss VTT Technical Research Centre, Finland Tartu city, Estonia Riga City Council, Latvia Buses of Kaunas city, Kauno Autobusai, Lithuania Motor Transport Institute, Poland ATI erc Education, Research and Furtherance of Cooperations, Germany ITC Innovations and Trendcenter www.balticbiogasbus.eu 13 A process with several steps For efficient use of biogas buses we must investigate further • Production from biomaterials • Purification to fuel • Distribution • Handling of biogas at bus depots www.balticbiogasbus.eu 2017-05-24 14 The benefits of biogas • Biogas is a 100% renewable fuel • From natural degradable processes of waste products • From households, restaurants and sewage treatment plants • Similar to natural gas CNG but renewable • Locally produced www.balticbiogasbus.eu Xxx xxx 15 Expected results from the BBB project • Strategies and policies to introduce biogas • Analysis of necessary measures in production, distribution and bus operations • Execute activities to facilitate further expansion • Dissemination Project organisation • • • • • • WP 1 WP 2 WP 3 WP 4 WP 5 WP 6 management of the project and administration dissemination of the possibilities via communication activities providing cities the tools to set up a biogas bus introduction strategy help cities to connect biogas supply distribution use of biogas buses www.balticbiogasbus.eu 17 Core messages • Biogas is 100 percent renewable and thus a suitable fuel for city buses. • Using Biogas as fuel can be more climate effective than using it for electricity and heating. • Biogas is produced locally from local raw materials. www.balticbiogasbus.eu 18 Baltic Biogas Bus Project 2009–2012 For further information please contact: Lennart Hallgren, Stockholm Public Transport [email protected] www.balticbiogasbus.eu 19 www.balticbiogasbus.eu 20 Baltic Biogas Bus Project 2009–2012 www.balticbiogasbus.eu 21
