All gas vehicles depend on fossil fuel. The natural gas obtained from drilling is a fossil fuel and while no fossil fuels are considered to be renewable resources because of the millions of years needed for the earth to produce them; natural gas is primarily methane and methane gas can be produced as a renewable resource. Methane gas is currently being collected from landfills and produced from rotting vegetation and animal manure.

CNG vehicles are cheaper to operate than conventional vehicles and burn cleaner than gasoline vehicles. Electric vehicles running on electricity alone put out "0" emissions at the tail pipe, but the electricity providing that power is generated at power plants running off fossil fuels. The U.S. Department of Energy states that "PHEVs (plugin hybrid electric vehicles) and EVs (electric vehicles) typically have a well-to-wheel emissions advantage over similar conventional vehicles running on gasoline or diesel.

However, in communities that depend heavily on conventional fossil fuels for their electricity generation, PEVs (Plugin Electric Vehicles) may not demonstrate a well-to-wheel emissions benefit."

The switch from diesel to CNG is the larger trend for cities and municipalities across the country. The U.S Department of Transportation provides grants for upgrading mass transit and many cities are already using those dollars to advance their fleets over to CNG vehicles.

The future for NGV remains uncertain; although the advantages seem clear, reduce dependency on foreign oil, cleaner energy for the environment, lower cost to fuel. The largest drawback is the lack of infrastructure for refueling. As government agencies along with private fleet owned vehicles begin to convert vehicles from gasoline to NGV the private sector will also begin to benefit from their expansion. Improvements in refueling technology and engine performance will also soon follow. It will likely be the consumers, who ultimately decide our next energy of choice.

Dreaming about CNG Kits

"Can I get a CNG Kit for my car?"

"Do you have a CNG kit for my car?"

"I want to convert my car to CNG; how much will it cost?"

"I want to put a 30 gallon CNG tank in my truck; how much will that cost?"

These are the type of questions I get all the time concerning CNG Conversions. Let's look at a few facts concerning CNG Conversions in the United States, then we may be able to answer a few of these questions above intelligently.

Worldwide, there are more than 15,000,000 Natural Gas Vehicles. Pakistan is the leader in growth and numbers with 2,300,000 vehicles. Argentina is second with 1,807,186 as of 2009. (1) The United States only has a puny 110,000 natural gas vehicles. In fact, in recent years the growth of Natural Gas vehicles in the United States has been negative: -0.1%.

The United States is ranked 14th out of 84 countries in total number of natural gas vehicles with Bangladesh above us at 10th with 177,555 NG vehicles. The United States has approximately 254,400,000 vehicles on the road. That means that.000432% of the vehicles in the United States are Natural Gas. That is 432 ten thousandths of a percent.

Worldwide Regional growth of Natural Gas Vehicles is as follows:
