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.
