Biogas heavy truck fleet
with Carrefour

Description

The solution aims to develop biomethane as a truck fuel. Carrefour designed a biomethane ecosystem, by setting up partnerships with gas industrials, car manufacturers and transport companies. The goal is to gather every actor of the biomethane chain and lead them toward a common goal: developing biomethane trucks instead of diesel. Gas industrials developed biogas stations. Car's manufacturers engineer biogas trucks, and transport companies purchased those trucks. Carrefour's role is to guarantee, negotiate and support each link of the biomethane ecosystem, in order to reduce its carbon footprint, anticipate regulation and innovate. The development of biomethane allows a reduction of near 75% CO2 emissions and remote small particulates emissions (carrying the same distance as diesel). Biogas also have an impact on traffic noise and reduced by 50% this nuisance. Biomethane relies on a circular economy, as it is made from organic waste: like agricultural waste or Carrefour shop's organic waste.
