LNG Blue Corridors: A summary of the main activities performed during the first four years of the project.

Abstract

The aim of the LNG Blue Corridors project is to establish LNG as a real alternative fuel for medium- and longdistance
heavy-duty vehicles; first, as a complementary fuel, and later, as an adequate substitute for diesel. The
use of LNG as fuel for transport in trucks also has great potential to achieve Europe’s policy objectives as well
the European Commission’s greenhouse gas reduction and air quality targets.
LNG Blue Corridors unites the critical mass of experience (know-how, expertise, industrial parties and
stakeholders) in LNG transport and infrastructure technology. It involves cooperation between heavy-duty
vehicle manufacturers, fuel suppliers, fuel distributors and fleet operators. The project includes a first definition
of European LNG Blue Corridors, with strategic LNG refuelling locations in order to guarantee the availability
of LNG for road transport in a simple and cost effective way in order to perform a large-scale demonstration
taking place in four main corridors across Europe, and currently involving a consortium of 59 partners, (OEM’s,
fuel suppliers, research centres, fleet operators) from 11 countries.
This paper presents the main activities, most relevant achievements, and the partial conclusions of the LNG Blue
Corridors project so far.
