Compressed Natural Gas to the Rescue

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a growing “green” solution to replace petroleum fuels.

What is Compressed Natural Gas? CNG is a substitute for fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel. It is comprised of natural gas (just like it comes into your house) compressed to less than 1% of the volume it would occupy at standard atmospheric pressure. 

Why CNG? This will lessen our dependence on foreign oil, as natural gas is produced abundantly within the United States. In addition, CNG is considered more environmentally friendly. It emits up to 90% fewer emissions than gasoline (according to CNGNow.com).  More importantly CNG has a positive impact on the bottom line. With diesel averaging $4.10 per gallon across the nation and CNG averaging $2.60 per gallon equivalent it’s easy to see the impact it could have on a business’s P&L.


Gone Global. Did you know that CNG already powers about 12 million vehicles? But only 250,000 of them are in the United States? IDT Energy’s new brand Evergreen Fleet Services is working to make a difference by converting more fleets to this money saving, environmentally friendly solution.
