A consortium brought together by low carbon experts at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the UK launched the first bus in the UK to run on biomethane gas. Originally powered entirely by diesel, the Mercedes-Benz engine has been adapted by the Hardstaff Group ( earlier post ) to run for 60-80% of the time on low-carbon biomethane.
