Why CNG Now?
- CNG is American
- About 98% of the natural gas we use comes from right here in North America. Conversely, 70% of the oil we use is imported.
- Clean – Natural Gas Reduces Emissions by up to 90%
- Abundant- Natural Gas is Abundant, North America has at least a 120- year supply of natural gas- contradicting the notion that America is running out.
- Affordable- CNG Can cut conventional fuel costs by about 40%

Safety of CNG
The fuel storage cylinders used in CNG vehicles are much stronger than gasoline fuel tanks. The design of natural gas cylinders is subjected to a number of federally required “severe abuse” tests, such as heat and pressure extremes, gunfire, collisions and fires.
Natural gas fuel systems are “sealed”, which prevents spills or evaporative losses. Even if a leak were to occur in a fuel system, the natural gas would dissipate into the atmosphere. It’s unlike gasoline, which in the event of a leak or accident, pools on the ground, creating a fire hazard.
Natural gas has a high ignition temperature, about 1,200 Fahrenheit, compared with about 600 Fahrenheit for gasoline. It also has a narrow range of flammability, that is, in concentrations in air below about 5% and above 15%, natural gas will not burn. The high ignition temperature and limited flammability range make accidental ignition or combustion of natural gas unlikely.
