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

Aim of Study
Develop a knowledge base on biogas infrastructure in BSR
countries in a manner that is useful to identify the influence
that existing and planned infrastructure have on introduction
of biogas as a transport fuel in BSR countries.
Objectives
• Study biogas infrastructure overview
• Map biogas production and distribution
• Analyze the influence of infrastructure on introducing biogas as a
vehicle fuel
•Discuss barriers and opportunities to promote biogas
