Gas Cars in public procurement
Description: Entering gas vehicles in public procurement can increase gassbil share in
automotive and thereby stimulate both tickets demand and the demand for biogas in
petrol station.
The desired effect: Increasing demand for biogas for transport purposes.
Disadvantages: Will also encourage the use of natural gas
Requirements for collection of landfill gas
Description: Organic waste breaks down anaerobically in landfills can cause methane emissions.
Amount of methane produced decreases gradually as the organic waste is broken down. The
is possible to collect approx. ¼ of the methane gas generated in a landfill using the so-called
gas extraction system. The collected gas can be either flared without energy recovery or used for
electricity and / or heat. Even if gas is not used for energy production, the
collection followed by flaring reduce greenhouse gas emissions, because methane (which is a very potent
greenhouse) is converted to CO
2
(Weaker greenhouse gas). The gas can also be upgraded to
gas quality, but because of impurities in the gas, this is a difficult and expensive process. Man
can imagine that an increased accumulation of landfill gas can be done by several landfills have installed
equipment for collecting this gas or by improving the efficiency of existing
gas collection system. Cure (2010a) examined both measures and estimated that 5 new methane plants
can lead to greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to 26 250 tonnes of CO
2
-Eq per year at a cost of 343
Dollars / ton CO
2
-Eq. Upgrading of existing 85 plants were estimated to contribute 70 560
tons of CO
2
-Eq per year at a cost of 123 dollars / ton CO
2
-Eq.
The desired effect: Reduced methane emissions from Norwegian landfills.
Possible drawbacks: Due landfill ban for biodegradable waste, the future
supply of biodegradable waste sent to landfills can be very limited. Already deposited waste will still
emit methane for decades, but in diminishing degree, so that methane emissions from landfills will be reduced
even without further action. If the recovery rate at each landfill will be increased, this
necessitate upgrading of existing outlet facility. These upgrades can be
varying scope and associated costs related to this.
Feasibility: Low. For most landfills with gas recovery plant is underway already a process
evaluation of existing solutions and of the need to upgrade. It is doubtful
it is possible to impose further requirements for these plants now that will lead to a significant

emission reductions than required by certain requirements. If additional requirements for withdrawal efficiency should
realized now for all current landfills in operation, it must be by an amendment of section 9 of the
Waste disposal and optionally establish other incentives (such as financial
support) to landfills choose to upgrade methane gas outlets. When there are large
differences between the various dumps respect. gas production size and opportunities for increased
gas accumulation, the specific requirements for extraction efficiency had to be individually through revised
discharge permits or orders. For closed landfills can also increase gas production to be in conflict with current
land use.
The opportunities for state governments to require additional emission reductions from landfill
also limited by the fact that these emissions already paid for through the state
disposal fees for waste.
Conducted in neighboring countries: The general requirement of collecting landfill gas for landfills in operation
which have deposited or depositing biodegradable waste, states of the EU Landfill Directive. The
In this context been considered whether this requirement could be further specified, but
preliminary conclusion is that these are requirements that must be determined for each landfill.
Requirements for utilization of recovered
landfill gas
Description: Organic waste breaks down anaerobically in landfills can cause methane emissions.
Amount of methane produced decreases gradually as the organic waste is broken down. The
is possible to collect approx. ¼ of the methane gas generated in a landfill using the so-called
gas extraction system. The collected gas can be either flared without energy recovery or used for
electricity and / or heat. The gas can also be upgraded to natural gas quality, but
Due to impurities in the gas, this is a difficult and expensive process.
The desired effect: increased energy utilization of methane gas from Norwegian landfills.
Possible drawbacks: Harnessing the collected landfill gas to produce energy (electricity or heat) requires
additional investments, which is not necessarily proportionate to the profits of energy production.
Introduction of the claim must be based on the ratings for each landfill.
Feasibility: Low if the claim is to be realized alone, good if this requirement is realized simultaneously
that other incentives are introduced. Most individual landfills that represent deposits with the greatest
energy potential is already beginning to utilize gas for energy purposes. If additional requirements
the energy utilization of the collected landfill gas to be realized for landfills beyond these, should
this is done simultaneously with the introduction of other incentives (such as financial
support) to landfills choose to upgrade methane gas outlets.

Tax on fossil fuels
Description: An increase in CO
2
Tax on fossil fuels
The desired effect: Increase profitability by using biogas relative to fossil diesel or gasoline.
Possible disadvantages: Increased CO
2
Tax on fossil fuels will provide a skewed distribution effects. Those
necessary to use a car and unable to switch to gas or other environmentally friendly vehicles,
will be hardest charged the fee. In addition, the instrument little control effectively, since it will also provide
an advantage to other types of biofuels and electricity.
Continuation of exemption veibruksavgift
for biogas and natural gas optionally
Description: The price difference between fossil fuels and biogas is an important driver in the
commercial profitability of biogas vehicles. If biogas is required veibruksavgift,
reduced price difference and biogas are less profitable. This could possibly be compensated for by increasing the
CO
2
Tax on fossil fuels simultaneously.
The desired effect: Increase profitability through the use of biogas in vehicles.
Features: This instrument is moderately effective management. It will encourage greater use of natural gas vehicles,
but does not ensure that biogas is used since gas vehicles also use natural gas. This can
solved by the simultaneous introduction of a higher tax on natural gas to biogas are significant
less expensive compared to natural gas, but this can hamper growth of biogas market since
biogas users like to use natural gas as a back-up.
Possible drawbacks: Veibruksavgift to cover the costs caused by vehicle use
the road, such as air pollution, accidents, road wear and noise. Gas Vehicles will contribute to many of these
disadvantages in line with other vehicles and exemptions for these inconsistent.
Feasibility: Good. This should be very easy to implement, as there is talk of a
continuation of an already existing instrument.

Investment aid for the purchase of
gas vehicles (private cars and / or taxi)
Description: By reducing the investment cost of gas vehicles, the share of gas in the vehicle
fleet increased. At present gas vehicles both more expensive and have a higher fee, see details
this Annex 3c. By reducing the purchase tax so that the investment cost for gas vehicles
whole is aligned with the corresponding gasoline or diesel vehicles, the demand for
gas vehicles increased. This will be a revenue-neutral measure, since most consumers
alternative would buy gasoline or diesel. If the "subsidy" provided in the form of reduced fee,
the effect of such cabs less, since they already pay a reduced fee.
Alternatively, the grant is given as a lump sum when buying gas vehicles (as in Sweden).
The desired effect: Increase the use of biogas for transport purposes.
Features: Heavy steering effectively. All measures that are aimed at increasing the proportion
gas vehicles will also increase the use of natural gas. This can be solved by the simultaneous introduction of a
higher tax on natural gas to biogas is considerable less expensive compared to natural gas, but this
can inhibit the growth of biogas biogas market since users often use natural gas as a back-
Save.
Possible drawbacks: Gas cars have a fuel tank as well as back-up. In some gas vehicles, this
additional tank so large, that theoretically can run most of the time with gasoline operation. In addition
may NO
x
Emissions become a problem, since some types of gas vehicles have higher emissions of NO
x
. This can
solved by putting demands on engine type to get investment support.
Conducted in neighboring countries: Yes, in Sweden
Investment aid for the purchase of
gas vehicles to fleet operations
Description: An investment of (heavy) vehicles used in fleet operation (eg buses and
vans), can be an effective way to increase gas vehicle portion of the vehicle fleet. Because these
vehicles are able to use the same fuel station every day, the investment cost
lower than the cost associated with increasing gas vehicle share in the private market.
The desired effect: Increase the use of biogas for transport purposes.
Features: Heavy steering effectively. Similarly as for investment for other gas vehicle,
instrument could increase the use of natural gas instead / as well as the use of biogas.
Possible drawbacks: It is important that vehicles with low NO
X
Emissions is selected, otherwise the instrument increase
challenges in cities with high NO
2
Concentrations. This can be solved by setting requirements for low NO
x
-
emissions for the vehicle to be eligible.

Investment aid for the purchase of
gas buses
Description: The bus market will likely be even easier to increase the number of gas vehicles than in
fleet vehicles in general, partly because the user of public transport will often be concerned
environmental consequences of the choice of transport mode. An investment specifically targeted at
gas buses can be a very effective policy instrument.
The desired effect: Increase the use of biogas for transport purposes.
Features: Heavy steering effectively. As with investment for fleet vehicles, will
instrument could increase the use of natural gas instead / as well as the use of biogas.
Possible drawbacks: Same as for investment for fleet vehicles.
Investment for the construction of
filling stations
Description: The investment in filling stations for gas-powered vehicles can be a barrier to an increased
share gas vehicles in the vehicle fleet, both for private vehicles and fleet vehicles. By providing
investment support for these, development accelerated.
The desired effect: Increase the use of biogas for transport purposes.
Features: Small management effectively. This instrument will facilitate but do not ensure that the proportion of gas vehicles
increases. A distinction is made between natural gas or biogas.
Possible drawbacks: means will also increase the use of natural gas, unless combined
introduced a higher tax on natural gas to biogas is considerable less expensive compared to natural gas.
However, this can hamper growth of biogas biogas market since users often use natural gas
as back-up. Another option is to link investment support for a requirement of a minimum amount
or percentage of biogas sold in future years.

Support for the replacement of oil boiler to gas boiler
if the biogas to be used
Description: Parliament has made the following decisions in Recommendation 390 S (2011-2012): " Parliament requests
government prohibit firing with fossil fuel in households and the base load of other buildings in
In 2020. " When you now must develop means to effect this replacement, it is possible to
add up to the oil boiler to replace the gas boiler that uses biogas.
The desired effect: Increasing demand for biogas
Features: This instrument is effective management. By attaching support directly into biogas use, one can
ensure that the demand for biogas increases as much as you want by customizing support level.
Possible drawbacks: The biogas will be used for heating, resulting in fewer positive
environmental impact than the application in the transport sector.
