Outline
•Biomethane as a transport fuel in Sweden
•What is LBG and LNG?
•Why LBG and LNG?
•BiMe Trucks –
Liquefied gas for heavy duty transports
•LNG Blue Corridors –
Demonstration on EU level
•EU-directive on infrastructure
Why use biomethane in the
transportsector?
Targets :
Swedish government:
“By 2050, Sweden will have a sustainable
and resource-efficient energy supply and no
net emissions of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere”.
Facts:
The transport sector represents today one
third of the Swedish CO2 emissions
Biomethane one of the biofuels that are
defined as important solution to reach
target.

for vehicles in Sweden
What is LNG?
• LNG = Liquefied Natural Gas
• Cold condensed methane
• Concentrated energy
• Logistic solution
• Established technology
• Clean burning fuel

Why LBG and LNG?
• Accessible energy
- Industry
- Road transport
- Sea transport
• Decreased oil dependency
• Improves health, environment,&
climate
• Increases biogas production
• Supports political goals
• Competitive prices

LNG supply in Sweden
• A number of production plants
and terminals exist or are being
planned in Scandinavia
• In addition, a number of smaller
plants around Sweden as back-
up
• The first LNG terminal in
Sweden was opened in May
2011
• The second one will open in
Lysekil this year.

LBG supply in Sweden
• Lidköping Biogas - in operation
since October 2012
• Annual production capacity
60 GWh
• Substrate based on waste - food
processing industries and farming
• Several additional LBG-projects
now under investigation

• The purpose of the project was to have a market introduction of liquefied
biogas to heavy duty vehicles by coordinating the timetable for the vehicle
introduction with the infrastructure of filling stations.
• The goal was to build 3 filling station and deliver 69 trucks to customers.
BiMe Trucks Sweden 2010-2013
Project partners: Co-funding:
• 3 new filling stations and 69 new trucks on the road.
• 30 percent LBG in the fuel-mix within the project.
• Climate impact can be reduced by up to 70 percent by using a ratio of 75
percent LBG and 25 percent diesel.
• Extensive practical experience.
• An open and close dialogue between the partners of the project.
The result

Renewable content
up to 50 %
Based on mass balance/
Green gas principle
• Several OEMs and retrofit companies demonstrate LNGtehnologies for EURO 6 emission standard- 100 additional vehicles on the road and in operation
• Developing infrastructure and demonstrating the fuel for market actors as a first step before large scale introduction- 14 additional refuelling stations to close the gap in infrastucture
• Supporting harmonization of market solutions and standards- Fuel, interface, components, safety, follow-up …
• 12 countries and 27 stakeholders represented

Swedish input
to the LNG-BCproject
• Milestone:L-CNG-station for demonstration in Örebro, Sweden
EU-directive:Deployment of alternative fuels Infrastructure
• Adopted in the European Parliament ,15 April 2014
• Densly populated areas by 2020
– 150 km between natural gas stations
– 400 km between LNG stations
• Member states have to develop national policy
frameworks within 24 months from
implementation (autumn 2016).
