Overview
Background & policy context:
The Action is part of a Global Project that aims to develop a network of multi-fuel refuelling infrastructure, to construct 2 bio-methane production plants and introduce 330 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks by 2023 in France, before the 2024 Olympic Games organised in Paris.
Objectives:
The general objective of the Action is to support the decarbonisation of road and inland waterway transport along the Atlantic and the North Sea-Mediterranean Corridors through the deployment of the alternative fuel bio-CNG in the Core Urban Node Paris.
The completion of the Action will contribute to the decarbonisation of transport sector to the roll-out of alternative fuels vehicles and refuelling infrastructure.
Methodology:
The Action will achieve this through:
- the construction and commissioning of 8 bio-CNG fuelling stations in the urban node of Paris (out of which one will serve both road as well as inland waterway transport)
- procuring and introducing into the market for truck lease 300 CNG vehicles
- procuring and using 30 heavy duty vehicles for last mile transportation of goods being transported by rail
