SEAT-led research looks at impact of biomethane on passenger vehicles

In Spain, a biomethane research project underway by auto manufacturer SEAT shows that the organic fraction of municipal solid waste in Barcelona is enough to fuel 10,000 cars running on biomethane driving 15,000 kilometers annually. Current drive tests on biomethane are being done using three Leon cars and one Arona with the aim of determining what impacts the fuel may have on cars and any potential damage that the vehicle manufacturer needs to be aware of before rolling out biomethane cars.
