Low Carbon Options
• Fuel cells
• Hydrogen
• Bioethanol
• Biodiesel
• Natural gas
• Biomethane
• Only 3 suitable for HGVs
Delivering Excellence…
Biodiesel
• CO2 benefit depends on life cycle of the material, some interfere with food chain.
• 100% PPO engine conversion required. Varying analysis of tail pipe emission. OEMs not fully supportive of which could potentially cause warranty issues.
Delivering Excellence…
Natural Gas
• Cleanest of all the fossil fuels is methane
• CH4 + 2O2 = 2H2O + CO2
• Readily available
• Dedicated vehicles or dual fuel conversions
• Supported by OEMs & no warranty issues
Delivering Excellence…
Biomethane
• Substitute for natural gas
• Other European countries using widely.
• Currently best low carbon option for HGVs
• Limited availability of supply (but due to increase)
Delivering Excellence…
Initial barriers • Challenges outlined:
• Cost – too expensive? – analysis shows good payback • Gas vehicles problematic? – experience in UK & Europe • What if we run out of fuel? – dual fuel switches to
diesel • What if something better comes along in a few years?
- If it does vehicles are changes every 3 – 5 years & can adopt new technology, if it doesn’t at least we haven’t been doing nothing waiting.
• Why isn’t everyone else doing it? – all asking the same question
• Focused on solutions – it is do-able & do-able now
