Transport Sector Vital to a Country Economic, Financial and Political Well-being

  • Transport sector:
  • moves people and goods -

creates economic opportunities and growth.

  • major consumer of energy, ~ 35

– 40 % of final energy consumption, mainly in the form

  • f oil (gasoline & diesel).
  • impact on energy security of a

country - oil supply and price are volatile and unpredictable.

  • major impact on environment –

vehicles major source of air pollutions especially in the cities.

  • Natural gas was first used as a

transportation fuel in Italy in the 1930s after World War II. Around 80 years ago.

  • Worldwide there are around 21.6 million

natural gas vehicles (NGVs) and 25,600 refuelling stations in 83 countries.

  • Most of the natural gas vehicles are

located in the Asia Pacific region.

Natural Gas Offers a Commercially Viable Clean Alternative Fuel for the Transport Sector

Opportunity to Use Upgraded Biogas As Renewable Source of Natural Gas

Transportation & Distribution

Natural gas pipeline distribution system /grid Trailers (mother – daughter system)

Commercial, Residential, etc Vehicles (NGV) Industries

Usage

Fossil Natural Gas

Source: Gas & oil fields

Biomethane

Source: Upgraded Biogas Biomethane (also known as Renewable Natural Gas) is defined as methane produced from biomass (ISO 16559:2014), with properties close to natural

  • gas. It can be produced by biochemical conversion (upgrading of biogas) or

thermochemical conversion (bio-Synthetic Natural Gas)

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Biomethane in Europe

  • In Sweden and Iceland , biomethane supplied

to vehicles were larger than those from fossil natural gas.

  • Biomethane markets are already established in

a number of European Union (EU) countries. Between countries, there are differences in the targets and intended main markets e.g.

  • heating (United Kingdom ((UK)
  • electricity with district heating (Germany)
  • vehicle fuel (Sweden, Germany, Austria,

Finland, Iceland)

Biomethane Markets Lesson Learnt

Ref: Thrän et al. 2014. Biomethane – status and factors affecting market development and trade. IEA Task 40 and Task 37 Joint Study. September 2014.

  • A good framework is necessary to push

forward the emergence, development and growth of biomethane .

  • Political and associated financial support

are needed.

  • Policies such as tax reductions on clean

vehicles and renewable fuel quota systems are important.

  • Next to a good policy framework, another

important step is good information flow to the stakeholders and public.

  • Conditions should be created for revenue generation from environmental

attributes of biomethane such as Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits under the USA Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for the generation and use of biomethane as fuel for vehicles.

slide-12
SLIDE 12
  • The American Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) has established specific rules for determining biogas qualification for RINs.

  • To earn RINs, producers must demonstrate

their feed stocks and the physical connection from the biogas source to where it is upgraded and injected all the way to where the gas is extracted to produce CNG, LNG or electricity, contractual arrangements must also be demonstrated.

  • The EPA determines on a case-by-case basis

who along the process chain earns the RINs which provides market flexibility in the evolving business landscape.

Biomethane Certification in USA

SLIDE 13

Biomethane Certification in United Kingdom

  • Marks & Spencer Secure Green Gas Certificates.

8th Sept 2014. www.energylivenews.com

  • M & S announced today it will buy Biomethane Gas Certificates from Future

Biogas to slash its carbon footprint emissions by more than 6,400 tonnes. Over the past couple of years, M&S has worked tirelessly to improve its carbon efficiency and innovate in sustainability.

  • The Green Gas Certification Scheme (GGCS)
  • Tracks biomethane, or ‘green gas’, through the supply

chain to provide certainty for those that buy it.

  • Tracks each unit of green gas from its injection into the

distribution grid, to any trades, to its sale to a consumer, or group of consumers. Tracks the contractual rather than physical flows to ensure there is no double-counting from production to end use.

  • Provides certainty for consumers who buy the gas, confidence in the green

gas sector and an incentive for gas producers to inject green gas into the grid instead of using it to generate electricity.

  • Run by Renewable Energy Association’s subsidiary, Renewable Energy

Assurance Ltd.

For NGVs:

  • ISO 15403-1: 2006 :- Natural Gas – Natural gas for use as a compressed fuel

for vehicles. Part 1: Designation of the Quality.

  • ISO/TR 15403-2: 2006 - Natural Gas – Natural gas for use as a compressed

fuel for vehicles. Part 2: Specification of the quality.

  • critical items are water content, sulfur compounds, particulate matter, higher

hydrocarbons, CO2, free oxygen, glycol/methanol, oil content and corrosive

  • components. Pertains only to compressed natural gas as it enters the fuel

containers on the vehicle. It does not apply to the natural gas delivered to a refuelling station.

  • SAE J1616 :– Recommended Practice for Compressed Natural Gas Vehicle Fuel

(1994). (Under Annex 3 of UN ECE R110)

  • National standards e.g. Thailand, Malaysian, Indonesian standards, etc.
  • German standard - DIN 51624:2008-02 :- Automotive fuels – Compressed natural

gas – Requirements and test methods.

  • Swedish standard – SS 155438:- Motors fuels – Biogas as fuel for high-speed Otto

engines (1999). Currently the only standard regulating direct utilisation of biomethane as fuel for vehicles.

Fossil Natural Gas Quality Standards

For Natural Gas:

ISO 13686:2013 :- Natural gas - Quality designation

Biomethane Plays an Increasing Key Role at Finnish Fueling Stations. 27th March 2015

  • Biomethane accounted for 30% of the

natural gas sold in Finland - Finnish Ministry

  • f Transport and Communication.
  • Available at almost all of the 24 stations

for CNG. Drivers able to choose between fossil natural gas and biomethane.

  • Despite extra costs, 45% of customers

choose to refuel with biomethane, allowing for up to 90% reduction of CO2 emissions compared to petrol.

  • All biogas sold for transport originated

from biowaste and domestically produced.

  • All fossil natural gas imported from

Russia.

  • The 40 seat bus operated by

First West of England, will

  • perate four days a week from

Cribbs Causeway to Stockwood from 25th March 2015.

  • Bus capable of running up to

300km on a full tank.

  • Sewage and inedible food

waste from more than 32,000 households in Avonmouth and Bristol will be converted into biomethane.

  • First West will introduce more

'poo buses' if the current plan becomes successful.

Bus powered by biomethane generated from treatment of human and household waste set to go into regular service on the roads of Britain.

Conclusion

  • Biomethane as fuel for vehicles and injection into fossil natural gas

grids are well established in Europe and North America.

  • A good framework is necessary to create and push biomethane

market forward. Framework should address technical standardization, sustainability certification, economic and management huddles.

  • Political and associated financial support are needed.
  • Policies such as tax reductions on clean vehicles and

renewable fuel quota systems are important.

  • A good information flow to the stakeholders and public is also

needed.

  • Conditions should be created for revenue generation from

environmental attributes of biomethane such as Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits under the USA Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).
