 The Nordic Ecolabel certification criteria covers the entire product
lifecycle from the raw materials to the finished product. The ecolabel
at the service station is an important indication for consumers of the
fuel availability and the standard of the fuel being retailed.
Bo Ramberg, CEO of FordonsGas Sverige, said: "We believe that our
receipt of this ecolabel will increase interest within the automotive
industry for alternative fuels, which is of critical importance both
for our company and for the environment."
FordonsGas Sverige operates over 60 service stations in Sweden. The
company said that interest in methane-powered cars has increased in
Sweden. Around 15,000 cars and buses in Sweden use methane, an
increase of 60% over the past few years. In Sweden, methane intended as
transportation fuel is a 50-50 mixture of fossil natural gas and biogas
from digestion plants.
