Hexagon Agility, a subsidiary of Hexagon Composites, has received orders from a
major heavy-duty fleet in North America for renewable natural gas (RNG) fuel
systems. The orders represent an estimated value of USD 27.1 million (approx.
NOK 288 million).
"We commend our customer for its ongoing commitment to further its emission
reduction targets through the use of renewable natural gas," said Seung Baik,
President of Hexagon Agility. "In 2021, 64% of all on-road fuel used in the
United States for natural gas vehicles was RNG, delivering carbon negative
results nationwide. With the recent USD 0.50 per gallon federal Alternative Fuel
Tax Credit extension, our government has affirmed its commitment to supporting
RNG for years to come."
About the market
RNG results in the greatest reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of any clean
energy solution available today in the transport sector. In addition, RNG is
supported by vast infrastructure in North America, allowing for immediate
deployment of this cost effective and commercially available technology.
Research shows that RNG derived from agricultural waste can offer more than
200% improvement in well-to-wheel emission reductions compared to diesel, and is
the only carbon-negative fuel available.
In the U.S., the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law in August aims to bring
down costs and boost energy supply, cutting inflation and substantially reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. Of the total USD 739 billion package, USD 369 billion
is earmarked for "Energy Security and Climate Change" which would put the U.S.
on a path to a roughly 40% emissions reduction by 2030. Tens of billions of
dollars will go toward supporting renewable energy development, including tax
credits and grants for clean fuels and clean commercial vehicles, including
heavy-duty vehicles such as transit buses and garbage trucks.
Timing
Deliveries of the fuel systems are scheduled to start Q1 2023.
