The objective of this project is to examine the process of upgrading local biogas with green hydrogen for obtaining biomethane, which can be used for heavy-duty transport.
Light-duty vehicles propelling on electricity have been increasingly used over the last couple of years. On the other hand, it is more challenging to commercialise solutions for decarbonisation of heavy-duty vehicle operations. A solution applied for reducing carbon emissions is to blend in biofuels with petroleum diesel. However, with the electrification of energy systems and planned increased production of green hydrogen in the Nordic region, it is relevant to study opportunities for higher utilisation rate of local biogas resources by upgrading biogas with green hydrogen to become independent from fossil fuels for land- and sea-based transport and, in addition, increase local self-sufficiency.
The project is carried out in the Faroe Islands, but with partners from other Nordic countries, the application of biomethane is discovered in a Nordic context, with focus on its use and impact for islands and isolated areas. In addition, the economic conditions and feasibility are examined linked to upgrading biogas to biomethane.
Project results
Explore the six areas of priority for future Nordic cross-sectoral collaboration for a green transition of the transport sector. The recommendations are based on input from experts on green transport and mobility, who gathered to share innovative results and solutions at the Nordic Green Transport Forum in 2024.
