据世界天然气11月7日消息，芬兰一家回收公司Kuusakoski已于9月初开始使用其第一辆压缩天然气(CNG)卡车。

除了第一辆CNG卡车，Kuusakoski还在考虑在未来购买更多的燃气动力汽车。

据能源公司Gasum称，在重型运输领域，以天然气为燃料的车辆数量以惊人的速度增长。

Kuusakoski物流副总裁Krister Heinonen表示:“我们的目标是在Kuusakoski引入一个低排放的运输车队。这辆新车为我们提供了有关以天然气为燃料的运输车队的宝贵信息。我们打算在购买新车时参考这些信息。”

Gasum表示，燃气加注站网络的扩展使人们比以前更容易选择燃气动力车，并且正在推动公司对燃气的兴趣。

Gasum的交通业务高级销售经理Jani Arala补充道:“我们致力于发展北欧的燃气加注站网络。我们的目标是提高燃气加注的可能性，让企业更容易地选择更环保的替代能源。”

Kuusakoski的新型压缩天然气卡车由赫尔辛基物流公司K&O Tiilikainen运营，该公司共有六辆卡车，其中两辆使用液化天然气(LNG)。

压缩天然气和沼气适用于卡车、本地运输和废物运输。与汽油相比，压缩天然气生命周期中的温室气体排放量可减少约25％，而沼气的使用可以将燃料生命周期中的温室气体排放量降低多达85％。

LNG适用于长途运输，能够显著减少重型运输中的温室气体排放。与化石柴油相比，LNG生命周期的温室气体排放量可减少20%以上。

此外，天然气的使用只产生局部排放的一小部分，如氮氧化物和微粒排放。

Finnish recycling firm starts using first natural gas truck

Kuusakoski, a Finnish recycling company, has started using its first compressed natural gas (CNG) truck in early September.

Apart from its first CNG truck, Kuusakoski is thinking about acquiring more gas-fueled vehicles in the future.

According to energy company Gasum, the number of gas-fueled vehicles has grown at an amazing rate in the heavy-duty transport sector.

Krister Heinonen, VP of logistics at Kuusakoski, said: “We aim to introduce a lower-emission fleet for transport at Kuusakoski. The new vehicle has given us valuable information about a gas-fueled transport fleet. We intend to use this information when buying new vehicles.”

Gasum said that expanding the gas filling station network makes it easier than earlier to choose gas-fueled vehicles and is driving companies’ interest in gas.

Jani Arala, senior sales manager for traffic at Gasum, added: “We are committed to developing the Nordic gas filling station network. We aim to improve possibilities to fill up with gas and to make it easier for companies to choose environmentally friendlier alternatives.”

Kuusakoski’s new compressed natural gas truck is operated by Helsinki logistics company K&O Tiilikainen, who have a total of six vehicles, two of which run on liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Compressed natural gas and biogas are suitable for trucks, local delivery, and waste transports. Greenhouse gas emissions during the lifecycle of compressed natural gas are around 25 percent lower compared with gasoline, and the use of biogas can reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the lifecycle of the fuel by up to 85 percent.

LNG is suitable for long-distance operations and enables significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in heavy-duty transport. Greenhouse gas emissions over the lifecycle of LNG are more than 20 percent lower when compared with fossil diesel.

Also, the use of natural gas generates only a fraction of local emissions, such as nitrogen oxides and particulate emissions.
