Methane dictionary
• Methane CH4
• CNG Compressed Natural gas 200-250 bar
• CBG Compressed Bio Gas
• LNG Liquefied Natural Gas ( -130 - 140oC)
• LBG Liquefied Bio Gas
• Liquefied gas is 2 - 3 as energy efficient as compressed gas.
Volvo LNG MethaneDiesel benefits
Versus conventional truck
• Cost savings
• LNG is a relatively cheap fuel in many markets
• Reduced climate effect
• 70% less CO2 effect with LBG
• (between 3 - 15 % with LNG) Versus competitor gas trucks
• Fuel savings
• 30 – 40 % more efficient gas combustion compared to spark ignited engines (Otto)
• Flexibility
Cooperation
• BiMe project: AGA,EON,
Fordonsgas and Gasföreningen
• Short term goal:
Common project between Volvo and gas suppliers. 100
LNG-vehicles and 1 filling station in Göteborg, Malmö and
Stockholm respectively
Methane-Diesel Components
Smaller diesel tank Catalyst
Gas injector system
Normal diesel engine

Methane gas: CNG vs LNG
CNG – Compressed Natural Gas
• Suitable for shorter distances like city distribution
• Easy access to gas an advantage
LNG – Liquid Natural Gas
• Greater volume efficiency – up
to 50% greater range
• Requires a new network of filling

Volvo Bio-DME project
DME (Di-Methyl-Ether)
• Produced from renewable raw materials
• Engine: All moving parts identical to the diesel version
• Bio-DME can be produced from all biomass
• 95 % reduced CO2 compared to diesel fuel
• No emission of soot particles
• Very high energy efficiency
• Black liquor attractive because of price and availability
Hybrids - a Volvo
Group approach
