BioCNG

Decarbonising Ireland’s transport sector

BioCNG is a renewable form of natural gas made from organic waste. It’s produced by breaking down things like food waste and agricultural leftovers in a process called anaerobic digestion. The resulting biogas is purified to remove impurities and increase its energy content, creating bioCNG.

BioCNG is a great option for companies to use in their transport fleet as it emits up to 90% less carbon emissions than alternative heavy fuels.

A greener, more efficient alternative for commercial trucks and fleets.

Benefits of BioCNG

BioCNG is being used to decarbonize the transport sector by substituting fossil fuels with a cleaner and renewable energy source.

Benefits include:

Lower emissions: BioCNG produces fewer harmful gases compared to traditional fuels. This means cleaner air and less pollution.

Renewable energy: BioCNG is made from organic waste, which is a renewable resource. It helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels that will eventually run out.

Waste management: BioCNG production uses organic waste materials that would otherwise go to landfills. It helps manage waste more efficiently and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Better air quality: By using BioCNG, Ireland can improve air quality, especially in cities where vehicle emissions are a major problem.

Economic opportunities: The development of BioCNG creates new jobs and stimulates investment in renewable energy and waste management infrastructure.

“Our mission is to become carbon neutral by 2030 and this is an important step in cutting our carbon emissions. It will enable our business to become more sustainable and provide us with a long-term solution to our requirements. It also reflects our values and desire to do our part in the community to lead the way in responding to climate change. We are replacing our existing energy sources with sustainable, more environmentally friendly alternatives with the focus on a sole use of electricity from renewable energy sources.”

“We are functioning in a time when large energy users have limited hedging options. In a volatile energy market, having a fixed price for the supply of electricity through a CPPA is not only good for the environment, but it is also great for budgeting. This solution was hedged at a price that is reflective of current market price level, but delivers budget certainty and sustainability benefits.”

John Rowland, Operations Director, Wavin Ireland

“Our partnership with Flogas Enterprise is a critical component of our ongoing cost efficiency strategy and will enable us to significantly reduce operating costs by shifting to natural gas as our main fuel source. It comes at an exciting time for our business on foot of our recent completion of a €15.7m capital investment programme, which has allowed us to achieve substantial gains in efficiencies and a significant increase our competitiveness. Not only does the deal provide our business with significant cost benefits through direct access to wholesale energy prices, but we are partnering with a company that has demonstrated a deep understanding and expertise of Ireland’s energy market.”
