The aim of the project was to identify the difference in operation, costs, level of emissions and production of biogas for biogas propelled buses compared to ordinary diesel bus operation. Five buses have been equipped with gas engines which have been converted from diesel engines. The buses have been operated in ordinary traffic in the city of Linkoeping. The gas was delivered from the waste water treatment plant and was cleaned from carbon dioxide before the buses were fuelled. The project has shown that it is technically possible to use biogas as fuel for buses, that the possibilities to reach low level of emissions are good and that bigger fleets of biogas propelled buses can be operated at reasonable costs.
