Using biogas solves two environmental problems in one stroke. Since biogas is produced from waste products you help taking care of the waste issue at the same time as contributing to cleaner air, since biogas as a fuel does not add to the greenhouse effect. The present drive to increase the use of biogas as vehicle fuel has its background in the European Commission´s objective to replace more than 20% of today´s vehicle fuels (fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel) with other, renewable fuels. This means that more than 20 million cars will be running on natural gas, biogas, and other renewable fuels by 2020. Biogas...
