Project title: Olympic Energy: Tipping the scale towards Bio-CNG for European Transport starts in TEN-T Core Urban Node Paris! CEF Transport Blending 2017 call/ second cut-off date candidate
Background The European transport sector causes major negative effects on the health of the EU general population, the European environment, and the climate. The expectation of the European Commission is that between 2010 and 2050, heavy duty passenger transport will grow by 42% and heavy duty freight transport will grow by 60%. The implementation of readily available innovative techniques in the road transport sector provides a major opportunity to lower transport emissions. But the current available infrastructure, number of vehicles and the biomethane production are not sufficient for the switch to CNG.
Project Global project scope: 1.Realisation of multifuel infrastructure combining H 2, EV, (bio-)LNG, (bio-)CNG, N2 in the Urban Node of Paris. 2.Introduction of 1,000 CNG trucks 19T-44T in the Urban Node of Paris. 3.Realisation of 2 biomethane production plants Urban Node of Paris by Action scope: 1.Introduction of 330 CNG 19T-44T trucks in the Urban Node of Paris. 2.Realisation of first stage multifuel infrastructure: Eight (bio-)CNG fuelling stations in the Urban Node of Paris.
