Compressed Natural Gas Vehicles are Cleaner!

From gonatgas.com:

Natural gas is the cleanest burning alternative transportation fuel commercially available today. In fact, in 2011 the Honda Civic GX was named the "Cleanest Production Vehicle on Earth."

Natural gas contains less carbon per unit of energy than any other fossil fuel. Natural gas consists primarily of methane (around 90%), with small amounts of ethane, propane, and other gases. Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon molecule, made up of one atom of carbon and four of hydrogen (CH4) It is lighter than air and burns almost completely so that, when used as a transportation fuel, it produces dramatically lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per vehicle than gasoline or diesel powered vehicles. 

Replacing a typical older in-use vehicle with a new Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) provides the following reductions in exhaust emissions of:

• Carbon monoxide (CO) by 70 - 90%
• Non-methane organic gas (NMOG) by 50 - 75%
• Nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 75 - 95%
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) by 20 - 30%
  For instance, replacing one diesel-powered garbage truck with a natural gas-powered version of the same truck has the same benefit in reducing emissions as taking 325 cars off the road!

Research has shown that natural gas vehicles are cleaner for the environment.  Why don't you do your part and switch your vehicle over today?  Contact us at 479-646-7301 or email Ed at eflaherty@smithchevyworld.com
