What is the report about? 30 CASES PUBLIC PRIVATE FLEET MANAGERS CSR/ ENVIRONMENT SPECIALISTS DECISION-MAKERS 25 -04 -2018

What we wanted to find out? WHY? WHAT? HOW? 25 -04 -2018

Sweden’s leading the peloton Biogas market potential 54000 10000 1487 1000 461 100 17 10 Denmark 173 20 Norway Natural and biogas stations Sweden Natural gas vehicles Source: NGVA Europe, 2017; Biogass Oslofjord, 2018; gasbiler. info, 2018) 25 -04 -2018

Denmark – the incentive desert ”Gas er den eneste mulighed som er her og så virker” ” Vil være first movers. Være de første der fik erfaring inden for kørsel på biogas. ” ”Største udfordring er den manglende infrastruktur” ”Rent politisk har man sendt mange signaler om at tung transport skal på gas, men man har intet gjort for at understøtte det” 25 -04 -2018

Norway – competing alternatives “Informasjonen bør være mer tilgjengelig enn det den er i dag. Sammenheng mellom tilgjengelig kjøretøy, og fyllmuligheter er viktig. ” “We want to be a part of the green change” “A support system to secure a lower, stable and more a more competitive price on biogas fuel is appreciated. ” 25 -04 -2018

Sweden – signs of stagnation ”Långsiktiga styrmedel för biodrivmedel och produktionsstöd (såsom i resten av Europa) istället för användningsstöd” ”Det är lite svårt att motivera förutom miljöaspekten då lastbilarna är dyrare i inköp, dyrare service och dåligt andrahandsvärde” ”kvalitén är det stora problemet, viss gas är så dålig att motorerna på lastbilarna börjar hacka” ”Många inom framför allt hemtjänst upplever att det är krångligare att tanka, det tar längre tid och finns en del oro kring tankning av biogas” 25 -04 -2018

Who is driving the change? [CATEGORY NAME] [CATEG ORY NAME] 25 -04 -2018

Where is the incentive? Instrument Denmark Norway Sweden Fuel tax exemptions ✔ Vehicle tax exemptions Other tax exemptions (congestion/parking fee) ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ DEMAND Vehicle purchase grants RD&D grants SUPPLY Investment grants/loans (production and distribution) Subsidising supply of feedstock Subsidising fuel sales ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Caveat: This table does NOT represent the current state of legislation in the respective countries. The table presents an overview of financial instruments that have been used by the three countries in the recent years. 25 -04 -2018

A bumpy ride for biogas Drivers Environmental and waste regulations Eco-branding Public procurement Suitability for longrange transport Challenges Total cost of ownership Lack of clear political vision and incentives Lacking infrastructure Lacking awareness 25 -04 -2018

Light at the end of the tunnel Opportunities Growing awareness Costs should drop over time Circular economy central to future economies The infrastructure the same as for natural gas Increasing pressure to move away from diesel and towards more sustainable fuels 25 -04 -2018

What are the takeaways? “the change is still mostly driven by the public sector” “strong commitment from the leadership” “predictable political environment” “a way to brand the company” “appropriate cooperation between private actors and public authorities” “need to harmonise the legislation across borders” 25 -04 -2018
