•
The conclusions reached regarding the
possibilities for using green gas in the rail
sector gripped the media at national level
Upcoming Project Development
Climate
change
and
phasing
out
of
oil
and
urban
air
pollution
present
challenges
requiring
innovative
approaches
to
resource
management.
Agricultural
and
food
waste
could
provide
sufficient
energy
to
power
urban
public
transport,
making
it
carbon-neutral
and
minimising
its
pollution.
To
bring
this
about,
the
following
complementary
technologies need to be developed:
• Small scale biodigesters for local use
• Small scale biogas upgrading plant for bio-methane production
• Adaptation of public transport to operate on methane
• Improvement in vehicle fuel efficiency through hybrid drive technology
The
i-WARMER
project
aims
to
prove
the
feasibility
of
all
four
technologies,
integrating
them
and
delivering
proven
designs
enabling
rapid
implementation
with
minimal
risk,
providing security of supply and a stable pricing structure.
ZEPHYR -
Zero Emission Propulsion with Hybrid
Refuelling
•
The
objective
is
to
develop
a
fuel
efficient
hybrid
vehicle
drive
system
to
achieve
low
noise,
zero
emission,
carbon
neutral
propulsion
systems
to
be
used
in
the
deployment
of
a
sustainable
urban
transport
environment.
This
will
be
achieved
through
the
integration
of
a
number of existing technologies utilised in an innovative package.
•
The
expected
outcome
of
the
project
is
the
adoption
by
targeted
vehicle
manufacturers
(both
road
and
rail)
of
this
system
in
a
range
of
vehicles
adapted
to
meet
the
requirements
of both private and public sector customers.
•
Industrial
issues
addressed
relate
to
developing
a
system
that
allows
all
component
elements to work in an integrated and unified way producing the required deliverables.
•
The
economic
objective
is
to
achieve
the
benefit
of
electrification
without
the
cost
associated
with
the
required
infrastructure
for
external
power
systems
and
the
high
maintenance cost of batteries.
•
The
social
issues
being
addressed
in
this
project
include
the
need
to
reduce
transport
costs
through
the
improvement
of
energy
efficiency
in
transport.
Health
in
communities
will
benefit
from
better
air
quality
and
noise
reduction
whilst
mitigating
the
effects
of
climate
change in the reduction of transport-based emissions.

Climate change, phasing out of Oil and urban air pollution
present challenges requiring innovative approaches to

provide sufficient energy to power urban public transport
thus making it carbon neutral and minimising its pollution, a
