Germany-based logistics company Duvenbeck is using renewable and climate-friendly fuel, bio methane (biogas), at its business site in Saarbrücken when providing services for the automobile supplier ZF. 

In addition to switching inter-factory traffic to battery-powered trucks for short distances, the company is introducing a source of energy, which is obtained from renewable sources such as agricultural waste, for its long-distance services. 

The biogas to be used is from certified organic waste processes. The switch involves 40 vehicles. As a result, the company will be able to reduce its CO2 emissions by up to 8,000 tonnes per annum.

“Tractor units, which use fossil LNG fuel, can process cryogenically liquefied biomethane without any problems – and without any additional technical effort or expenditure either,” said Thomas Balcer, Duvenbeck branch manager in Saarbrücken.
