Consortium Launches Britains First Dual Fuel Biomethane Bus; Emissions Cut in Half

Green Car Congress

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. The vehicle can still run on diesel, providing flexibility, but most of the time is running on biomethane gas which is a much cleaner and less polluting fuel. Biomethane bus.
