Camden vehicles running on biogas

I've just heard that Camden Council is introducing 20 new biomethane vehicles to its vehicle fleet in the next few months. That's great news. Camden's biomethane (or biogas) is currently produced from food waste that has rotted in landfill sites. Biomethane is 80% fewer carbon emissions than diesel. And burning it means no noxious emissions. It's a triple win.

The transport team is also fitting innovative ‘hybrid assist technology’ equipment to a further 15 vehicles. The new equipment will help to reduce fuel consumption by 20% and contribute to reductions in carbon emissions and air pollutants. Hurrah!
