VW Caddy EcoFuel
Chesterfield Special Cylinders recently launched a subsidiary, Chesterfield BioGas, to sell equipment which turns raw biogas from sewage plants and the anaerobic digestion of organic waste into biomethane. Now, in conjunction with Sheffield City Council, the company is utilising a VW Caddy EcoFuel van to demonstrate to the local community the benefits of using biomethane as an alternative fuel for vehicles. Chesterfield BioGas is reported as saying the UK market for biomethane has remained untapped, but with Mercedes and Volkswagen now producing right-hand drive methane fuelled vehicles for the UK market and the Energy Bill paving the way for financial incentives for biomethane to be pumped into the gas grid, the way is becoming clearer for investment in alternative fuel technology and infrastructure.
