Forbes: Natural Gas Vehicles: The Future Of Transport

Natural gas as a transport fuel is not a new story. With over 14.8 million natural gas vehicles (NGVs) on the roads worldwide, the industry is well-established, challenging perceptions about how all forms of transport are powered. In addition to increased supplies – thanks to the US shale revolution – the change towards gas has been further incentivised by regulatory, economic and environmental imperatives.

Road transport alone is currently responsible for 20 percent of CO2 emitted by the European Union; replacing petrol and diesel with natural gas is widely agreed to be the most effective route to both lowering fuel costs and improving emissions performance. And the success of NGVs on the road has blazed the trail for rail and marine – we explore the future of a cleaner, more efficient means of powering our transportation globally.
