Natural gas is the cleanest burning alternative transportation fuel commercially available today. In fact, in 2011 the Honda Civic GX was named the "Cleanest Production Vehicle on Earth."

Natural gas contains less carbon per unit of energy than any other fossil fuel. Natural gas consists primarily of methane (around 90%), with small amounts of ethane, propane, and other gases. Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon molecule, made up of one atom of carbon and four of hydrogen (CH4) It is lighter than air and burns almost completely so that, when used as a transportation fuel, it produces dramatically lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per vehicle than gasoline or diesel powered vehicles.

 

Replacing a typical older in-use vehicle with a new Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) provides the following reductions in exhaust emissions of:

  • Carbon monoxide (CO) by 70 - 90%
  • Non-methane organic gas (NMOG) by 50 - 75%
  • Nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 75 - 95%
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) by 20 - 30%

For instance, replacing one diesel-powered garbage truck with a natural gas-powered version of the same truck has the same benefit in reducing emissions as taking 325 cars off the road!

 

NGVs can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 - 29% compared with diesel and gasoline fueled vehicles, respectively. And blending existing natural gas with renewable natural gas -- biomethane -- can reduce NGV emissions even more. Renewable natural gas reduces carbon emissions by almost 90% when compared with gasoline and diesel fuel.


Driving an NGV makes you feel good, because you know with every mile you're doing something to help the environment. Go Natural Gas!
