CNG in international perspective. Latest trends in CNG fuel technologies

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)

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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

Polish Supertests of Economy 2010 & 2011 CNG is the cheapest fuel on Polish market Supertest 2010 1. Opel Zafira A 1.6 CNG Consumption: 4,26 m3/100km (3,13 kg/100km) Cost: 9,46 pln Supertest 2011 1. Fiat Panda 1.2Natural lpower Consumption: 3,03 m3/100km (2,23 kg/100km) Cost: 7,88 788pln
