That would presume that the fueling stations would provide the fuel and perhaps endanger the delivery of
conventional diesel from their suppliers.
The biomethane that fuels the Bio-Bus is generated from sewage and food waste (waste which is unfit for human consumption), and because the bus» engine produces lower emissions while burning biomethane than
conventional diesel does, it could not only help improve air quality, but also help to prove the case for more waste - to - fuel projects.
