  1. Gas/biogas for transport – the Danish conditions Lars Overgaard Scientific Coordinator www.tinv.dk

  2. WHY ESTABLISH A GRID FOR GAS VEHICLES NOW? Denmark has a wide spread infrastructure for gas but hardly any use of gas in transport

  3. WHY ESTABLISH A GRID FOR GAS VEHICLES NOW? • Political agreement about electricity and gas as the most significant instruments in the transport area • Strong development in number of gas vehicles in Europe • With the latest Danish energy agreement the economics get closer to a competitive level • Price of gas descending and oil prices tending to rice • 20 mkr. of public funding reserved for gas infrastructure • Gas infrastructure and gas vehicles are known technology • Wish for oil independency rising

  4. THE TECHNOLOGY PUZZLE Quick charge Hybrid Gas Plug-In

  5. POSSIBILITIES ≠ REALITIES

  6. Bioethanol Biodiesel Biogas World’s No. 1 biofuelDiesel engine & efficiency Average 71 % CO2 reduction Buses, coaches waste collectors, distribution trucks. Low blends to B100Diesel engine Average 38 % CO2 reduction (EU) All tyes of applications, including long-haulage and coaches. Mixes with CNGNew Otto engine Average 73 % CO2 reduction (EU) City & intercity buswaste collectors,distribution trucks. Also in pipeline for Euro 6

  7. THE RANG ISSUE..

  8. THE COST ISSUE..

  9. Euro VI • Very low NOX, HC, CO, PM, PN • Unchanged CO2 • Small fuel penalty • Same noise • Higher price • Higher maintenance cost

  10. WE DO HAVE A CO2 CHALLENGE..

  11. CO2 impact of new engine technology

  12. Fuelling stations • Users do have different needs • Operating companies typically operate from a few garages • They can set up their own proprietary systems for own vehicles • Cheaper to set up compared to solutions with payment option • Trucking companies • Various options depending on the types of transport • Taxi • Large driving need, often filling at same locations (bases) • Additional need for fuelling on the road • Private car owners • Actually filled often at the same place, but psychological need for many fuelling sites

  13. Example of road system, gas grid and travel patterns in the city of Odense

  14. 5 gas projects launched with grants from the Danish Transport Authority Total grant approx. 17 mkr. • Co-financing approx. twice • Three filling stations as well as at home filling stations • Three different gas suppliers (HMN, E-on, Fyn) • Different car brands (Mercedes, Scania, MAN, etc.).

  15. 5 gas projects launched with grants from the Danish Transport Authority • 3 MAN busses (13,7 m), Euro 6, January 2014 with filling station in Gladsaxe by HMN Naturgas • 4 Scania garbage trucks, Euro 5 og 6, November 2013 with filling station on Amager by E-on • 9 Mercedes busses, Euro 5 with filling station in Fredericia by Naturgas Fyn • 29 fleet cars for taxi- and plumbing companies with home filling stations

  16. Some hints to the introduction of gas in transport • Define your goals – they may not be obvious! • Identify the key factors – then optimise! • Know the known pitfalls! • Don’t underestimate the organizational barriers • EURO VI will effectively reduce emissions • Gas reduces noise • Hybrids save energy • New fuels as biogas are needed to effectively battle CO2

  17. PARTNERSHIP WILL SETUP NETWORK FOR GAS Network is a cooperation between The Danish Transport Innovation Network (TINV), The Energy Authority and the Transport Authority, who will insure that coordination and exchange of knowhow about gas as fuel for vehicles in the Danish transport sector

  18. THE PURPOSE OF THE NETWORK • Cooperation and coordination about gas initiatives • Dissemination of the latest know how within this area. Ex. From demonstration projects with gas vehicles • Supply data and facts the can highlight issues within this area • Raise the level of knowledge about the experiences and results from abroad - especially our neighboring countries Sweden and Germany • Implement, discuss and discuss new analyzes and suggestions for strategies
