Mobility with gaseous energy carriers
Transportation and logistics are crucial to a functioning economy. But at a time of climate change it is equally essential for transport fuel to be reliable, affordable and safe. Gaseous energy carriers can contribute to this objective. The use of gas is a proven technology that can be implemented immediately and can help reduce pollutant emissions from road transport. With a share of about 45% of all emissions, the transport sector as such, and heavy goods traffic in particular, could play an important part in achieving national and European climate goals.
Medium and long term forecasts predict growth in the volume of road traffic, especially heavy goods traffic. Especially in urban areas, air quality suffers from vehicle emissions. A raft of EU initiatives are therefore promoting greater use of natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) as transport fuels.
The transition from natural gas and bio-LNG to hydrogen represents a possible next development step for gaseous energy carriers in the mobility sector.
The alternative fuel
The use of green gas as a fuel can make a major contribution to meeting ambitious climate targets. In addition to naturally occurring natural gas, gaseous energy carriers produced from renewable energy sources may also be used for mobility applications in the form of Bio-CNG or Bio-LNG. RAG’s ongoing research and development activities are opening up new horizons.
The advantages are obvious:
- Lower CO₂ emissions compared to conventional fuels
- Reduced particulate emissions
- Reduced noise emissions
