In one small town in Catalonia, pigs are being trialed as a way to fuel the future of mobility
Seat has put €6 million into expanding its giant Martorell car factory near Barcelona to produce 250 gas cars per day, up from 90 at present.Neumann said that using either biomethane or “e-gas” generated from renewable energy lowers CNG's carbon footprint even more than using natural gas.
“Seat is committed to boosting CNG as a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuels," de Meo said in August. “And thanks to the technology’s compatibility with renewable biomethane, it makes it an important part of the fuel mix as we move towards low emission mobility.” There will be 80 public CNG stations in Spain by the end of this year, hardly an expansive network and far below the thousands of electric charging posts popping up across the country.
"Biomethane should be used by sectors already using natural gas today, like heating or industry," said Ambel."Stating that biomethane will be available in large amounts in the future is simply a Trojan horse to increase the market share of CNG cars in Spain." “If the government helped it would be easier,” he said of the need for public support to promote the biomethane for transport industry. “If they don’t do it the electric cars will overload everything."calls for member countries to make CNG refueling points available at 150-kilometer intervals along main highways by the middle of the next decade, although progress on that target is slow.
