Bio‑LNG: A Practical Path to Sustainable Mobility in Europe

Europe’s transport sector is responsible for about 27% of total greenhouse gas emissions, making it a major focus in the push toward climate neutrality by 2050. 
One of the most promising solutions emerging today is bio‑LNG — a renewable, low‑carbon fuel produced from purified biogas. 

Why Bio‑LNG Matters

Bio‑LNG offers immediate, large‑scale emissions reductions. Research shows it could cut transport emissions by 95% to 174% by 2050, even meeting the EU’s strict climate targets for sectors like shipping. 
Unlike many alternative fuels, bio‑LNG can be used today, thanks to Europe’s existing LNG infrastructure. 

Impact on Heavy‑Duty Transport and Shipping

By 2050, bio‑LNG production could reach 46–405 TWh, supplying up to 18.7% of Europe’s transport energy demand. It could also power at least 57% of heavy‑duty vehicles and 17% of maritime transport, sectors that are notoriously challenging to decarbonise. 

Rapid Growth Across Europe

Europe already had 15 bio‑LNG plants by the end of 2021, and around 100 new projects are expected by 2025, massively increasing output to support cleaner mobility. 

Driving the Transition to Cleaner Transport

With strong emissions‑cutting potential, compatibility with current LNG networks, and rapidly growing production capacity, bio‑LNG is positioned as one of Europe’s most effective, scalable tools for decarbonising transport.

It delivers immediate climate benefits — and helps set the course for a more sustainable mobility future.
