11. Process framework www.balticbiogasbus.eu11 1) Understanding the decision making process 2) Goal and goal scenarios 3) Insight and documentation 4) Communication 5) Creating and developing alliances 6) Project Management

12. Conclusion from HOG Energi’s work in Bergen Decision from Hordaland County Council: 75 new gas buses to be purchased in Bergen Climate Plan for Hordaland county states that use of biogas and other renewable energy sources will be increased towards 2020. Biogas will be a priority in public transportation Decision from Bergen City Council: Produced biogas from Rådalen production facility shall be used in the public transport sector www.balticbiogasbus.eu12
