Methane
Deployment of infrastructure

Liquid methane for long distance Design stations to minimize methane


applications emissions
Liquid methane to reach driving range of
500-1 000 km Establish European or global technical
Refueling points every 100-150 km, along standards for fuel quality (CNG/CBG and
the Trans-European Network for Transport LNG/LBG), delivering properties
and at major distribution centers (pressure/temperature/flow/ventilation),
safety and nozzle standards
Compressed methane for urban and short Specific national standards and solutions
distance truck applications, mainly refuse should be avoided
and distribution
Refueling points every 50 km in urban To compensate for higher vehicle cost,
areas methane fuel must be approximately 30-40
per cent less expensive than conventional
Adapt filling stations, capacity and space, diesel fuel. Incentives for refueling points
to heavy duty vehicles and vehicles will be needed
