Bio-CNG is chemically equivalent to CNG and can be produced many different types of biowastes. The new FlixBus route between the capitals of the Netherlands and Belgium will use one hundred percent bio-CNG from OrangeGas, which is obtained from sewage sludge from a wastewater treatment plant near Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"1013085\" src=\"https:\/\/uabio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/800_scaniabiogasflixbus-fueling-copyscania.jpg\" alt=\"\u0410\u0432\u0442\u043e\u0431\u0443\u0441\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u0431\u0456\u043e\u0433\u0430\u0437\u0456 \u0442\u0430 \u0431\u0456\u043e\u043c\u0435\u0442\u0430\u043d\u0456\" class=\"wp-image-1013085\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-id=\"1013084\" src=\"https:\/\/uabio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/800_21133-006.jpg\" alt=\"\u0410\u0432\u0442\u043e\u0431\u0443\u0441\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u0431\u0456\u043e\u0433\u0430\u0437\u0456 \u0442\u0430 \u0431\u0456\u043e\u043c\u0435\u0442\u0430\u043d\u0456\" class=\"wp-image-1013084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uabio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/800_21133-006.jpg 800w, https:\/\/uabio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/800_21133-006-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bio-LNG<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LNG is liquefied natural gas obtained from CNG by cooling it down to a temperature of -161 to -164 \u00b0C.\u00a0One of its advantages is the significantly reduced volume compared to the gaseous natural gas CNG: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>the volume of 1 kg of LNG is only 1\/600th of that of 1 kg of NG, <\/li><li>while the energy content of 1\u00a0litre\u00a0of LNG corresponds to that of 3\u00a0litres\u00a0of CNG.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When LNG is obtained from bio-CNG it is called Bio-LNG or LBG (liquefied biogas).
