(Alliance News) - Edison Energia, an Edison Rsp Spa Group company, and Trasporto Unico Abruzzese announced Wednesday the signing of a one-year agreement to supply about three million standard cubic meters of biomethane to fuel up to two hundred buses in the regional fleet.

Biomethane helps reduce Greenhouse Gases emissions related to road transport and significantly lower fuel-related costs.

TUA, with 900 buses and 21 trains, manages about 70 percent of transportation in Abruzzo and operates the road division for urban and intercity service in Pescara and other locations such as Chieti, Sulmona, Giulianova, L'Aquila, Teramo and Avezzano, and the rail division based in Lanciano.

The biomethane project involves one hundred buses, which will become two hundred during 2024, 85 percent of the CNG bus fleet. The fleet operates throughout the region, with a predominance in Pescara (29 percent in suburban and 49 percent in urban). The headquarters of TUA's Pescara division is equipped with a CNG refueling facility.

Edison-which quotes only savings shares-closed Wednesday up 0.7 percent at EUR1.54 per share.
