This report is set in the framework of the Intelligent Energy for Europe program project called “GasHighway”, launched in 2009 with the purpose of the promotion of the “Uptake of Gaseous Vehicle Fuels, Biogas and Natural Gas, in Europe”. The project has started in May 2009 and will run for 3 years under the coordination of Jyväskylä Innovation, (Finland) and the participation of 14 other partners from Italy, Sweden, Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Spain, Latvia, and Lithuania. Biogas production has been found to be among the most environmentally benign and energy efficient means of producing vehicle biofuel from waste resources, whereas the use of natural gas as vehicle fuel also decreases the carbon dioxide emissions of vehicles by about one fourth compared to those of traditional petrol fuelled cars. The production of biogas as a sustainable alternative for methane fuel is getting large consideration in Italy. One of the possibilities, in addition to the power generation sector, is the upgrading of biogas to the quality of natural gas for a subsequent injection into the grid.
