#HDVCO2 Recital 13b): A typical Brussels horse-trading that doesn't help anyone. I'm curious when the European Commission will admit that it's at its wits' end.

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

🇩🇪 failed misrerably in the view of the road haulage industry. As 🇵🇱 establishes a new government, the common view was that the national implementation of the #Eurovignette Directive must exclude carbon neutral fuels including #bioLNG from the CO2 tax.

@bgl_logistik Absolut richtig, die Schiene wird das Problem nicht lösen und obendrein werden Klima freundliche Gas LKW gegenüber Strom und H2 benachteiligt, auch wenn es mehr Biomethan als grünen Strom gibt. So kann es nicht gelingen. 🇩🇪 ist auf dem Holzweg!

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

Almost 40% of the truck fleet must be powered by renewable energies by 2030. Impossible, unless all options and technology paths, including gaseous and liquid fuels, are fully exploited, a new study shows.

The discussion on biofuels is not over, yet. 🇮🇹 wants a better 🇪🇺 CO2 deal. Our General Assembly was flanked by high level meetings of @ngvitaly and @Eurogas_Eu where #renewablegas was in the focus. The energy in Rome was electric, but the energy outlook is much more than that.

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

Big news at #GreenGasSummit: 🇵🇹 has injected 1GWh of #biomethane into the gas grid and will achieve carbon neutral #gmobility by end of this year. Green #hydrogen production starts. @Gasnam_ @DOUROGAS

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

The 🌍 first geological hydrogen #UndergroundSunStorage is in 🇦🇹 !!Congrats to our member RAG (Renewables and Gas) Austria AG, one of the leading #energystorage companies and TSO’s in Europe to reach this global milestone: making sun and wind storable.☀️💨 https://t.co/hsQ2dWw15t

Istanbul🇹🇷 - Hamburg🇩🇪 with just one #bioLNG refuelling stop in Budapest🇭🇺 half-way: now possible thanks to the opening of @Shell’s first #LNG station in the country at the crossroads of 3 TEN-T corridors (Mediterranean, Orient/East-Med, Rhine-Danube). #sustainable #trucking

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

@Transport_EU Dear Henrik, you will be missed and have marked an era. All the best!

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

🇩🇰 leads the way: All gas used will be renewable by 2030. At the same time, they want the ICE ban and a 100% CO2 reduction target at tailpipe for HDVs. Can somebody please explain them that they can use that gas as carbon neutral 🚚 fuel !?! @erikoestergaard @nla_nordic @ITDinfo

[Gaz d'aujourd'hui @Gazdaujourdhui]

[𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞]Le Danemark vise 100 % de gaz renouvelables d’ici 2030, «voire avant».Le biométhane injecté représentait fin 2022,environ 33 % de la conso. de gaz 🇩🇰 contre 25 % fin 2021. @KlimaMin

📉 Not a glorious chapter for the green deal ambitions, alternatives are on the decline.
COVID and the war in Ukraine left a mark and slowed down investments, but does that justify that more diesel trucks were registered in 2022 (96,6%)? AF: mostly gas, some more electric (EAFO)

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

Keep the door open to all decarbonisation pathways!

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

@VolvoTrucks More power, more range, less emissions, fantastic !!

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

The largest single CNG bus fleet in Europe is in 🇪🇸!!

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

No time to waste - but lots of waste products available to produce #renewablegas and replace #diesel in HDV applications. 🚚 🚌 🌱

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

Is🇨🇭 the first country to curb electric charging of 🚗? They at least understand that the energy crisis is an electricity crisis in the first place. Blackouts are scaremongering? There’s at least an undeniable correlation with e-mobility. Keep it up 🇪🇺 !! https://t.co/rPewukC55f

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

Historic milestone for the NGV industry!
Today, we published a Carbon Neutral Roadmap to 2050 to deliver the #greendeal and achieve #netzero CO2 emissions in commercial road transport with #biomethane.
#gmobility🚛

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

Talk less, do more!!! #bioCNG #bioLNG

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

@GrupoDisfrimur @astic1960 @abc_es Bien dicho Juan Jesús! When gas as a transportation fuel is entirely based on biomethane, it is not only CO2 neutral, but also locally produced and stable in price. Gas trucks make Europe more energy resilient and greener, isn't that what everyone wants?

[Matthias Maedge @MaedgeMatthias]

Quite a warning from @GrupoDisfrimur to continue to support #bioCNG and #bioLNG 🚛 as the only available green alternative. But companies are forced to go back to diesel, how absurd!! The 🇪🇺 wants to accelerate it's energy transition? #Biomethane is their best option right now.

[Grupo Disfrimur @GrupoDisfrimur]

Juan Jesús Sanchez, director general de @GrupoDisfrimur y vicepresidente de Mercancías de @astic1960 defiende en @abc_es la necesidad de apoyar el uso del #gas para reducir las emisiones del #Transporte por carretera
