1 Karol WIECZOREK PTNSS-2012-SS1-150 CNG in international perspective. Latest trends in CNG fuel technologies The paper presents the Organizations dealing with issues of vehicles powered by compressed natural gas. The European and global perspectives in the implementation of biogas as a transportation fuel was specified. The latest technologies in engines powered by compressed natural gas and hybrid technologies were presented. The latest target groups for biogas (bio-methane) as a transportation fuel are the passenger vehicles (use in commercial and specialized way), taxi companies, garbage trucks, and trains. The refueling station infrastructure of biogas (bio-methane) was analyzed also. The article also shows that CNG is the cheapest transportation fuel on the Polish market. CNG w międzynarodowej perspektywie. Ostatnie trendy w technologiach CNG W referacie omówiono organizacje zajmujące się tematyką pojazdów zasilanych sprężonym gazem ziemnym. Określono europejskie i światowe perspektywy w zakresie implementacji biogazu jako paliwa transportowego. Przedstawiono najnowsze technologie w silnikach zasilanych sprężonym gazem ziemnym oraz technologie hybrydowe. Najnowsze grupy docelowe dla biogazu (biometanu) jako paliwa transportowego to pojazdy osobowe (wykorzystanie komercyjne i specjalistyczne), przedsiębiorstwa taksówkowe, śmieciarki oraz pociągi. Przeanalizowano również infrastrukturę stacji tankowania biogazu (bio-metanu). Wykazano, że CNG jest najtańszym paliwem transportowym na polskim rynku. COMBUSTION ENGINES, No. 1/2012 (148)

2 CNG in international perspective. Latest trends in CNG fuel technologies Karol Wieczorek Based on European and global case studies

3 Organizations concern on Polish NGV market NGV Polska Association - Association of market players concern on Polish CNG market - Established in On 2010 changes in governing body and associations charter cng.auto.pl Portal & Community - The biggest Internet Portal about CNG in Poland - Promotion of CNG in massmedia and on events - Creating of positive image of CNG in Poland permanent users

4 European perspectives EXPECTATIONS Reduction of emission in urban areas Use of biogas produced in cities Reduce of CO2 emission in transport Successor of diesel engines

5 European perspectives Polish market Short prescription Mainly implemented in city buses Growing amount of CNG taxis Municipal services great potential (Iveco, Irisbus technology) Phot. BalticBiogasBus conference at 2010 Source: cng.auto.pl Main players PGNiG SA NGV Autogas EU Programms - BalticBiogasBus -BioMaster - GasHighWay

6 Global perspectives Phot. TEDOM buses powered by CNG Source: cng.auto.pl Convenience for NGV s Implementation due to international events (sport, EXPO) Increasing role of natural gas in energy balance

7 Global perspectives Convenience for NGV s FACTS Quick reduction of emission Development of ecological vehicles Well impact on image (!) CASE STUDIES USA access to HOV lanes Phot. High occupancy vehicle lane (HOV), USA Italy - free entrance to low emission area Source: cng.auto.pl Austria free parking in city centers

8 Global perspectives Stimulation by international events Phot. New bus powered by CNG in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Source: cng.auto.pl Big scale of future investments for many years High volume of investments Well impact on image (!) 1972 Munchen, Germany Beijing, China 2012 Londong, GB 2014 & 2016 Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

9 Latest trends in CNG fuel technologies Based on Polish, European and global case studies

10 VW - new era of CNG engines modern constructions for sustainable mobility EcoFuel line of engines 2.0 Engine (Caddy) - Efficient construction for light commercial vehicles 1.4 TSI Engine (Passat, Touran) - Designed for personal vehicle - Implementation by AUDI and Skoda 1.0Engine (Eco Up!) - Latest premiere at IAA Frankfurt Extremeecology and efficieny 2.0 TSI Engine (Scirocco R) - Base engine for VW Scirocco CUP =>

11 VW - new era of engines biocng as a motorsport fuel SPECIFICATION - Power: 275 HP - V-max: 220 km/h VW Scirocco CUP FACTS - Established at as a part of DTM series -only vehicles powered by biocng - use of poor, 100% biomethane - new image of CNG in transport

12 Hybrid vehicles powered by CNG New opportunities in urban areas SPECIFICATION - Synergy of hybrid and CNG - The most efficient engine on the market FACTS TATA buses pioneer of technology Mumbai, India implementation Madrid, Spain first time in Europe Premiere BusWorld 2011

13 New sections of CNG market COMMERCIAL USE Municipal services TAXI s SPECIALISE VEHICLES Locomotives (trains) Mining machines

14 New sections of CNG market Municipal services TYPES Garbage trucks Sweepers Back-up vehicles ADVANTAGES Less noise Low emission (NOx, PM) Wide adaptation (size, purpose)

15 New sections of CNG market TAXI TYPES - wide property of cars - from Light Commercial Vehicles to luxury cars ADVANTAGES -lowcostof fuel - high efficiency - dominate technology to Diesel engines

16 New sections of CNG market Locomotives (trains) TYPES Short track trains Internal use trains (factories) ADVANTAGES New market for CNG Elimination of problems with control of fuel

17 New sections of CNG market Mining vehicles TYPES Huge tracks for mining material ADVANTAGES Low cost of exploatation Reduction of emission

18 Refueling infrastructure Small refueling stations Home refueling stations Up to 5 m3/h Opportunity of refuel 4 cars reduction in refueling time Small refueling stations Up to 20 m3/h Opportunity of refuel 4 light commercial vehicles Constant source of ecological fuel

19 Refueling infrastructure LCNG stations TYPES - delivery via the gas grid - delivery via the wheel tank ADVANTAGES - Independent from natural gas grids - Opportunity to fuel CNG and LNG - High quality of fuel due to LNG

20 Polish Supertests of Economy 2010 & 2011 CNG is the cheapest fuel on Polish market Supertest Opel Zafira A 1.6 CNG Consumption: 4,26 m3/100km (3,13 kg/100km) Cost: 9,46 pln Supertest Fiat Panda 1.2Natural lpower Consumption: 3,03 m3/100km (2,23 kg/100km) Cost: 7,88 788pln
