Biogas Truck – Mobile Biogas Collection and Compression Concept

The Biogas Truck is a concept I developed around a simple idea: what if biogas could be collected directly from the companies that produce it, instead of requiring them to have their own complete storage and transport infrastructure?

The idea is to create a mobile collection vehicle equipped with an onboard gas compression system and a series of high-pressure storage cylinders.

The compression unit is positioned at the rear of the truck, while the storage cylinders are arranged between the compressor compartment and the driver’s cabin.

The intended operating concept is straightforward: the truck would travel to biogas-producing facilities, connect to an appropriate gas supply, compress the gas and store it in the onboard cylinders for transportation to a processing or distribution facility.

I developed the vehicle concept in CAD to explore the mechanical layout, component positioning, storage arrangement and integration of the different systems into a single mobile platform.

The project is currently a conceptual design. Further engineering would be required to address gas purification, compression requirements, pressure vessel certification, safety systems and transport regulations.

The main objective was to explore a more flexible way of collecting biogas, particularly from smaller producers where dedicated infrastructure may not be economically practical.
