Natural Gas Terminology• CNG – Compressed
Natural Gas.• LNG – Liquefied Natural
Gas.• NGV – Natural Gas
Vehicle.• Therm – Unit of
measurement of Natural Gas equal to 100,000 btus.
• GGE – Gasoline gallon equivalent.
• DGE – Diesel gallon equivalent.
• BTU – British Thermal Unit is a measurement of energy equal to the amount of heat it takes to raise 1 lb of water 1 degree F.

Natural Gas is Clean•Natural Gas is composed of approximately
97% methane.•It is considered to be the cleanest fossil fuel
because it produces fewer emissions than other fuels.
•Compared to gasoline or diesel, Natural Gas has the least amount of carbon. Natural Gas is CH4, Diesel C14H30, and Gasoline C8H18.

Continued:
•CNG vehicles produce approximately 25% less CO2 than gasoline or diesel.
•They also produce approximately 80% less nitrogen oxide than gasoline or diesel and approximately 90% less particulates.

America’s Abundant Supply of Natural Gas•With recent discoveries North America’s supply is estimated at 120 years.
•Landfill gas could produce the equivalent of 10 billion gallons of gasoline yearly.

Natural Gas is Domestically Produced•98% of the Natural Gas we use comes from North America!
•Approximately 60% of the oil we use comes from foreign countries.
•Approximately $1 billion a day leaves this country due to oil imports.
•American Fuel = American Jobs!!

Economical •Natural Gas is less expensive than gasoline or diesel.
- A gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) of Natural Gas is approx. $1.50 to $2.50.
-A diesel gallon equivalent (dge) of Natural Gas is approx. $1.75 to $2.50.

Natural Gas is Safe•Natural Gas has a high ignition temperature of approximately 1200 F compared to Diesel which is 494 F and Gasoline which is 536 F.
•Natural Gas is lighter than air, will not lay on the ground, and it dissipates when released.

Natural Gas Time Fill StationsTime fill stations typically fill the vehicles overnight. They are ideal for fleets that return to a central location or for a home filling station.
