CNG Filling Stations: Not Only Facilities but also Technology
2021
Aleksandrs Koposovs, Ilmārs Bode, Leo Jansons

The European Union (EU) has set ambitious targets for energy decarbonisation in both the medium and long term. In the period until 2030, greenhouse gas (ESG) emissions must decrease by 55% compared to 1990, but by 2050 - by 85-90%. This means that GHG emissions from the transport sector also need to be significantly improved, as currently, despite the increase in registrations in recent years, alternative-thread passenger cars account for only about 3.7% of total car use in the EU. Natural gas consumption in the European transport sector is also relatively low, accounting for less than 1% of the region's total natural gas consumption. In addition, just over 2% of all vehicles in use in Europe are fueled by natural gas.
