Title: A Clean Burn: Environmental Concerns Make Natural Gas a Natural Investment for the Right Operation
Abstract: This article examines natural gas as a possible alternative to gasoline or diesel fuel for fleet managers. The author describes the difference between compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid natural gas (LNG), and their pros and con. The author reports that CNG and LNG are more environmentally friendly than diesel, and have little impact on drivers because natural gas burn characteristics are similar to diesel. The decision to convert to natural gas means weighing delivery, storage and safety characteristics. The article also describes funding options for private-sector fleets that may offset the initial investment for switching over to LNG or CNG. The public relations factor is also suggested as a bonus.
