Norway, Oslo
Oslo City Council in Norway is lowering its carbon emissions, putting previously flared methane produced at sewage plants to use powering the city’s public buses. The Guardian reports the program is in step with the city’s plans to become carbon neutral by 2050 and counters increases in carbon emissions of 10% since 2000. Infrastructure is expected to be operational by September 2009 to allow the biomethane to be used to fuel 80 of the city’s public buses but ultimately 400 public buses could be running on it in due course. Fuel costs savings of around 60% are expected.
