A new report commissioned by Coca Cola, that a fleet of new vehicles powered by biogas could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent compared to diesel and could save fuel costs. Coca Cola saw the potential of biogas as a possible new breed of low carbon source, as its used in the production of heat and electricity and is growing in importance across the UK.
The report which has now been published and reveal that the biogas fueled vehicle reduce well-to-wheel greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an estimated 50.3 percent, compared to the diesel Stralis vehicle. However, this was achieved using a temporary filling station a more efficient permanent station being installed at the Coca-Cola depot could raise the GHG savings to above 60 percent.
Additionally, operating the gas vehicle on biomethane reduced the fuel costs by 12.8 percent. Lucy Hopwood, Head of Biomass and Biogas at NNFCC, said: "These are exciting results and offer a glimpse of the potential for the wider deployment of the technology, but the next step is to establish a network of filling points at fleet bases."
