PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
The European market for natural gas vehicles has been expanding

2
1 steadily since 1994 when there were 524,000 natural gas vehicles (NGVs)
0
2 and 1,693 CNG fuelling stations. Today the European market has

- expanded to 1.5 million NGVs and 4,000 fuelling stations; growth of 286%

y
d and 236% respectively.
u
t While NGVs and the fuelling infrastructure are a practical potential
S
business opportunity they compete with the ‘politically attractive’
s
s
technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells and electric battery vehicles.
e
r
g Thus, the time is right for the wider European business community to
n
be made aware of the ‘NGV potential.’ This is best done by highlighting
o
C
the excellent opportunities to invest in a sustainable fuel and technology

s
that addresses today’s important concerns about energy and the
s
e
environment through the wider use of NGVs, whether they run on fossil
n
i
s natural gas, liquefied natural gas or renewable biomethane.
u
B The European Business Congress has recognized this need and now

n is seeking a way to inspire new investments in the CNG fuelling
a
e infrastructure across Europe. Once in place, this can lead to a much more
p
o widespread development of the European NGV market in individual
r
u countries that are linked across Europe along the normal transportation
E
corridors.

NGV Country profiles provide, in a PowerPoint format,

-
a template of information that represents in-depth
y
d
u analyses on a country-by-country basis. The profiles
t
S
focus on the specific elements that are important

s
s
e to understand the investment environment to develop
r
g
a CNG fuelling infrastructure. Taken together, these
n
o
C country profiles provide a unique window

s
s into individual markets that may be attractive
e
n
to different commercial interests investing in the
i
s
u
NGV infrastructure.
