The push for development of alternative fuels and corresponding vehicles has advanced significantly over the last few years. Certainly, much focus has been on electric and hydrogen powered vehicles. However, battery storage deficiencies and other shortcomings involved in these technologies prevent them from becoming viable alternatives in the near future. Conversely, compressed natural gas technology is here and ready for use.

“…The reality is that hydrogen-powered vehicles are probably 15 to 20 years away from being able to be mass-produced for the general public. We can’t afford to wait 15 or 20 years to address our nation’s air quality and energy security. By developing a CNG fueling network and driving clean-burning CNG-powered vehicles today, we are addressing each of these important issues right now.”
Michael Scarpino, Clean Cities Regional Manager/U.S. Department of Energy

Source-Clean Energy-Straight Talk on CNG

Transportation is where 55 percent of all the oil we consume goes – into the tanks of 254 million cars, buses and trucks.  While the 10 million buses and trucks operating nationwide make up just 4 percent of all vehicles, they consume 23 percent of all on-road transportation fuel.  These vehicles generate 26 percent of all transportation greenhouse gases and 60-80 percent of the highway-related soot and nitrogen oxide emissions.

Compressed natural gas provides the logical alternate energy source we need right now and can carry us until electric and hydrogen technologies evolve and are ready for mass production.

When it comes to reducing fuel costs, protecting public health and the environment, and supporting U.S. energy independence, the choice is clear. CNG will set the U.S. free!
