Natural Gas / CNG, a transitional alternative?




by takata » 07/02/16, 21:24

Hello everybody

It seems not to see find any recent topic about CNG (compressed natural gas).

Of course it is still a fossil fuel, but whose use as alternative automotive fuel has the advantage, however, not to issue any fine particle and significantly less NOx.

I am in Belgium where some 300 CNG stations are planned for the coming years 5.

I note that many manufacturers (little French unfortunately) have CNG vehicles to catalog: almost all passenger cars / vans with fiat, new CNG chassis supports VW / Audi / Skoda, Opel etc ...

Natural gas could thus have a transitional alternative to gasoline and particularly diesel, the latter being over-represented in Belgium and in most cases not justified (majority of vehicles traveling less than 20.000km / year).

I would be against a lessee of technical information such as

- Compatibility of the new generation of petrol engines with multipoint injection with the CNG. This type of motor does not pose he no problem?

- What about the possible performance gain when switching to the rich gas as is expected from us in the short term?

- Are you aware of other manufacturers ambitions in this area?

1000 thanks in advance for your thoughts and clarifications! ;-)

To repost here can be: climate-change-co2 / latest-figures-of-warming-climate-t13878-700.html # p405446 ? It seems more appropriate to me ...

Go back to "Fossil energies: oil, gas, coal and nuclear electricity (fission and fusion)"
