Support for the use of biomethane-using gas buses in the city of Tallinn on a regular public service
In the course of the project, 100 gas buses will be introduced in the city of Tallinn, when providing regular public transport services, which, if possible, will consume only biomethane as fuel. The project will result in a greater use of renewable energy as transport fuel and reduced CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The project will generate a higher demand for biomethane, thus triggering renewable energy production and reducing dependence on oil. A partial switch from diesel to biomethane will help to make Tallinn’s airspace better stored.
About the Low-carbon economy objective
Thematic Objective 4 funds the low-carbon economy — renewable-energy capacity, energy efficiency in public buildings and housing, low-carbon urban mobility, smart grids and combined heat and power. It is the single largest climate strand of 2014–2020 Cohesion.
Co-funding: the EU contributes €4.0M toward a total project cost of €15.3M — a co-funding rate of 26%, with the remainder covered by national, regional or private sources.
Kohesio is the European Commission's open-data platform for projects co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund and the Just Transition Fund. It draws on lists of beneficiaries published by national managing authorities and harmonises them into a single EU-wide view.
