It’s cleaner Natural gas is cleaner than gasoline or diesel by every significant measure. In the critical greenhouse gas emissions (global warming) test, natural gas produces up to 23% lower emissions than diesel and 30% lower than gasoline, according to the California Energy Commission.   It’s cheaper With the rising cost of petroleum, natural gas has consistently remained less expensive as diesel has increased in price. In early 2008, when diesel rose above $4.00 per gallon in Southern California, natural gas (LNG) at Clean Energy’s new Ports’ station cost $2.99 per gallon.   It’s domestic Virtually all the natural gas we use in the United States is produced in North America, while about two-thirds of the petroleum we use is imported. Natural gas pipelines cover the country making supply available for new fueling stations for fleet use in every major urban, high-vehicle use region.   It’s cleaner It’s cheaper It’s domestic   It’s abundant Domestic reserves of natural gas are estimated to be twice that of petroleum, based on current consumption. Worldwide, natural gas reserves are greater than petroleum. Natural gas is still being discovered and renewable biogas is being developed as a resource.   It works — today Natural gas vehicles work — and work well. New natural gas buses, refuse trucks, Class 6-7-8 trucks, vans and sedans are at the state of the art of vehicle design with top performance and low emissions. The natural gas Honda Civic GX is acknowledged as the cleanest production car in the world.   It’s mostly hydrogen With four hydrogen atoms and only one carbon atom — 80% Hydrogen — natural gas (mostly methane) is the Low Carbon fuel. When blended with Hydrogen (80% CNG, 20% Hydrogen) the resulting HCNG can lower emissions even more. And HCNG can generally be used in today’s natural gas vehicles. No need to wait 20 years.   It’s abundant It’s works — today It’s mostly hydrogen
