NGVA: One in Three Heavy Vehicles Could Run on LNG by 2035 (The Netherlands)

NGVA: One in Three Heavy Vehicles Could Run on LNG by 2035

LNG4Trucks&Ships will be held next September 19-21 in Amsterdam City. The event will put together a comprehensive LNG-for-transport workshop, table tops exhibition, a unique technical tour to an LNG filling station in Zwolle City, vehicle display and technical demonstration and a natural gas boat tour along the UNESCO’s Rings of Canals Amsterdam World Heritage.

“A third of truckers could be using Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in just over a decade,” said Manuel Lage, General Manager of NGVA Europe.

LNG is about to enter a new milestone as “clean and quieter” fuel for transport sector by 2013. Hundreds of LNG and dual fuel on-road vehicles and ships will be incorporated in the Dutch fleet soon. Around 60 new LNG filling stations and 10,000 dual fuel and LNG HDVs are targeted to be operated by 2017-2022.

The workshop programme include this issues: LNG for Heavy-Duty Vehicles; LNG for marine applications; Global LNG demand and supply and LNG and LCNG filling systems.

The market potentials

While various OEM LNG and dual fuel on-road vehicles and tankers manufacturers, converters diesel-to-dual-fuel LNG system, and the related engines are available in Europe, the European Commission is also supporting the development of this sector through its ‘Blue Corridor LNG” project and funding. The NGVA Europe has projected that one in three heavy vehicles could run on LNG by 2035.

Meanwhile, Dutch LNG stakeholders see the potential that 2-3 million tonnes of LNG will be used in transport sector by 2030, in their country. The government is preparing required regulations while various municipalities offering funding.

Local plan is set as “Green Deal”, an agreement that outline a plan to operate at least 500 Heavy-Duty trucks, 50 barges, and 50 ships on LNG, was signed on 14 June 2012. The signers include Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation/Vice Prime Minister Maxime Verhagen, State Secretary Atsma and the so-called “National LNG Platform”, consists of three local institutions Deltalinqs, Energy Valley Foundation and Port Authority LNG TR&D. Around the Rotterdam port and in the northern provinces, there are various initiatives to run trucks, inland waterways, coastal shipping, ferries, fishing boats and tugs on LNG. Monofuel LNG tanker and dual fuel diesel/LNG ship are also being developed in this country.

LNGTR&D, Dutch LNG-for-transport platform, will also give a presentation about the types of potential LNG projects that would be required and/or funded for the 2013 and future financing programmes.
