Performance and Emissions Comparison between Biomethane and Natural Gas Fuel in Passenger Vehicles: results of the second testing campaign

The present paper illustrates the results of the second set of measurements carried out in the BiomethER project (EU-LIFE). BiomethER aimed to design and build two innovative bio-methane production plants, located in the Emilia Romagna region (Italy), so it aims to demonstrate that bio‑methane could...
