Aims, objectives and achievements Regional Seminar Tartu 23-24 of March 2011 Lennart Hallgren Project Manager 1
The Project: Baltic Biogas Bus is a part of the solution A project to stimulate the use of biogas as fuel for city buses aiming to reduce environmental impact. 2
BBB is a part of the EU Climate Change Strategy Extended use of Biogas buses in public transport will - lower emissions - improve urban air quality - strengthen the role of public transport - create energy autonomy Photo: SL/Mikael Hedlund 11-04-06 3
Goals and budget Generate regional strategies for biogas bus operations Developments in production, distribution and operations Disseminate biogas potential A Pan-Baltic project within the Baltic Sea Region Programme 20072012 Period: 2009 2012. Budget: 4,2 MEUR. Financing: Partly by the EU fund (ERDF) 4

Biogas buses in Bergen
Process framework 1) Understanding the decision making process 2) Goal and goal scenarios 3) Insight and documentation 4) Communication 5) Creating and developing alliances 11
Conclusion from HOG Energi s work in Bergen Decision from Hordaland County Council: 75 new gas buses to be purchased in Bergen Climate Plan for Hordaland county states that use of biogas and other renewable energy sources will be increased towards 2020. Biogas will be a priority in public transportation Decision from Bergen City Council: Produced biogas from Rådalen production facility shall be used in the public transport sector 12
