August 6, 2023. Frode Laursen and Ragn-Sells, a leading player within sustainable waste handling, have together managed to reduce their respective carbon footprints by introducing biogas-powered trucks on a regular route between Norway and Sweden.
“At Ragn-Sells, we are striving to have as fossil-free a fleet as possible, and here liquid biogas-powered trucks are a very good supplement. Today, liquid biogas (LBG) is the most suitable renewable fuel for long-haul operations on the market. At the same time, we also believe there will be a need in the future for several alternative fuels, with biogas being one of them,” explains Johnny Evertsson, Head of Logistics at Ragn-Sells.
“The implementation together with Frode Laursen has been successful thanks to the fact that we both have stable material flows and a long-term perspective. This has now resulted in us achieving a significant reduction in our CO2 and particle emissions after implementing biogas-powered trucks,” says Evertsson.
At Frode Laursen, Jens Sørensen, COO, Road International, which covers transports within and across northern Europe countries, says: “It means that we must engage in close dialogue with our customers to find out whether and how it is possible to introduce biogas-powered trucks. We do so by, among other things, examining the concrete transport tasks and driving patterns together to see where the infrastructure allows it.”
