4. Two city-centered, proven success stories will converge to something bigger, better and CO2-negative!

5. “Cities all over Europe will only buy electric buses from 2025 onwards-and I am very sure of this. Urban transport will be electric-we are on the brink of radical change..”
–Joachim Drehimes in 2018, CEO of MAN Truck & Bus.

6. “What will cities do with all this valuable biogas when electric buses take over for biogas buses, and where will cities get all the electricity to charge fleets of electric buses?”
–Me, thinking about this trend since last year.

9. Fuel cells + biogas + CO2 capture + electric bus charging =
Net removal of CO2 from the atmosphere every time you ride the city’s electric buses

10. Net removal of CO2 from the atmosphere – A simple concept
Net removal of CO2 from the atmosphere = Negative CO2 emissions

11. CHP + Biomass + CO2 Capture
And yet another opportunity for cities for net removal of CO2 from the atmosphere

12. Summary: A Trifecta of Killer Apps
Cities are perfectly positioned to deliver heat, cooling, power and waste treatment services that remove CO2 from the atmosphere
Biogas + fuel cells + CO2 capture → electricity for charging the city’s electric buses
Biomass heating/cooling/power plant + CO2 capture
Waste-to-Energy plant + CO2 capture (as presented by Fortum Oslo Varme)
