It is not uncommon already, companies like M&S and waitrose already run thier HGV's on it. It is better than fossil fuels but not without its issues, methane still gets leaked in its production and transportation which leads to warming. I would imagine your problem is having a petrol engine, if it is diesel then HVO would be the obvious substitution and this will become increasingly prevalent over time for HGVs, mainly as if they can't get any they can't just substitute with diesel. It is hopefully a transition fuel until we can electrify everything and there are concerns around it similar to palm oil that its use will drive deforestation.

Will biomethane become a common fuel for HGVs in the UK? If so, is it a good thing? And could ICE cars run on it if they have a conversion kit, like the conversion kits for LPG? I ask because I have a petrol-burning camper van and am wondering what to do with it. I need a fuel which is widely available across Europe. A domestic charger won't be any use, because I won't be at a domicile much.
