Objectives

MADEGASCAR will 

  • Identify barriers and success factors for the integration of biomethane/natural gas in the fuel supply chain by doing regional feasibility and case studies

  • Foster concrete applications on the supply and the demand side

  • Raise awareness of the possibilities of gas as a fuel among gas suppliers, fuel station owners, municipalities, etc.

  • Plan for an extended infrastructure for gas fuelling stations

  • Increase the interest and awareness of car fleet managers, purchasers and car dealers by promotion and training measures

  • Increase significantly the number of gas driven cars, by 50%, in the participating regions

  • Disseminate the experiences and the knowledge gained to other energy agencies, supplier organisation and public authorities

  • In general and on the long run the project will create acceptance and a positive attitude towards natural gas and biomethane fuelled cars in Europe. MADEGASCAR will also enable mutual learning between key actors of European regions and establishing long-term partnerships for business opportunities and market development. Regional initiatives for biogas supply for transport and the promotion of gas driven cars in a regional context will be generated.
