Liquefied (bio-)gas - Cooperation with Kanadevia Inova AG 

A collaboration between Kanadevia Inova AG and RAG is opening the way for further developments in alternative fuels.. RAG has a long track record as a pioneer in the use of LNG in transportation. Since 2017 the company has been employing ultra-low temperature compression (ULTC) technology to manufacture LNG fuel, which is marketed via the first Austrian LNG filling stations in Ennshafen (Upper Austria), as well as in Graz (Styria) and Ort im Innkreis (Upper Austria) in cooperation with petrol station operator Leitner.

With biogas as a starting point, LNG  is turned into a renewable transport fuel: LBG (Liquefied Biogas). Depending on the feedstock used, biogas can be sourced from renewable feedstocks and produced locally in Austria. The strict environmental requirements of the Euro 6 emissions standard can easily be met by LNG. In comparison with diesel, LNG cuts emissions of sulphur oxide and fine particulates by 95%, those of nitrogen oxide by over 70%, and those of carbon dioxide by up to 15%. Noise emissions from LNG vehicles can be as much as 50% lower than those of diesel vehicles. In other words, LNG can already contribute to reducing emissions in heavy-duty transport.
