Operation of urban buses powered biomethane

The article presents the advantages of using biomethane to power city buses. Given the current possibilities for the production of biomethane in the country. They are very limited, but established the country's first mobile installation biogas purification to natural gas quality. Presented the results of comparative testing exhaust emissions and fuel consumption of city buses: CNG (biomethane) and diesel. The study was conducted in the national real traffic conditions. Reference was also the issue of eco - driving buses power CNG or biomethane. Presented used to test devices eco - driving Sagasystem company. The Sagasystem collects main information from the FMS gate in the vehicle: speed of the bus, fuel consumption, fuel consumption when in idle gear, work time when in idle gear, number of braking. Additional information from the FMS gate is the speed of vehicle (and individual wheels), speed of vehicle (according to the GPS), use of clutch (on/off) etc. Test results of emission standards and fuel consumption of CNG-powered bus (biomethane) in the national real traffic conditions were presented. Tests were carried out using and without the use of the above equipment.
