Biomethane fuel: bioGNV for decarbonized heavy mobility

A renewable fuel made from waste, biomethane is establishing itself in heavy mobility. BioGNV and dual-fuel engines: a tangible lever for decarbonizing fleets.

Biomethane, the fuel of sustainable mobility

Beyond injection into the grid, biomethane is asserting itself as a high-performance transport fuel. In the form of bioGNV (renewable-origin natural gas for vehicles), it already powers fleets of heavy trucks, buses and vans, with a very favorable carbon footprint.

Dual-fuel engines, able to combine several energy sources, further broaden the range of options for carriers.

Why fleets are adopting bioGNV

• A significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared with diesel.
• Range and logistics compatible with professional uses.
• Lower noise and air pollution in urban areas.
• Energy produced locally from waste.

What's at stake for transport companies?

Greening your fleet without sacrificing performance

BioGNV makes it possible to decarbonize heavy transport, where electrification remains complex. It is a mature and available solution.

Showcase the renewable origin

The biogas certificates guarantee and certify the renewable nature of the fuel used.

A fuel finding its market

This fuel is no longer just a laboratory promise: the network of bioGNV stations is growing denser and manufacturers now offer certified road tractors. For a carrier, the equation becomes clear, a competitive cost per kilometre, a documented reduction in carbon footprint and an image consistent with shippers' expectations. What remains is to secure supply over the long term, an essential condition for making the investment in a dedicated fleet profitable.

Securing the biomethane supply

The main obstacle to the development of this fuel remains visibility over available volumes. A fleet only makes sense if the carrier has a supply guarantee compatible with its routes. This is where structured support makes the difference: securing supply contracts, combining local renewable gas production with grid injection, and anticipating the evolution of the traceability certificates that add value to the renewable nature of this gas.

For transport companies, bioGNV thus represents a dual lever: concretely reducing their emissions while stabilizing part of their energy budget in the face of fossil fuel volatility, provided it is treated as a project in its own right, driven from the outset, rather than a simple choice of engine. This is the comprehensive approach we favor for every biomethane project.

Biomethane fuel: a mature solution for heavy mobility

The biomethane converted into bioGNV (renewable-origin natural gas for vehicles) is emerging as a credible alternative to diesel for heavy trucks, buses and refuse trucks. The upside: a massive reduction in CO2 emissions across the whole cycle, near-zero particulates and a competitive cost per kilometre. Driven by the development of refuelling stations and by a favourable regulatory framework, this market is structuring rapidly in Europe. Developments in these energy sectors are tracked by reference sources such as Reuters.

For carriers and fleet managers, switching to biomethane means securing a reliable supply and traceable guarantees of origin. For producers, the challenge is to find the right outlets and get the best value from their output. In both cases, a specialised partner brings decisive expertise.
