May 19, 2021
The cleanest heavy-duty truck engine in the world is powered by natural gas
Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) are zero emission equivalent with virtually no pollutants like NOx and PM
NGVs are 90 percent cleaner than the EPA’s current standard
The carbon content of NGV motor fuel is continually decreasing
Renewable natural gas (RNG) is now the majority NGV fuel
NGV fuelers have made aggressive commitments to dispense 100 percent RNG in the near future
The California Air Resources Board’s Q3 2020 Low Carbon Fuel Standard program data confirms that the energy weighted carbon intensity value of that state’s RNG vehicle fuel portfolio is carbon-negative and below zero at -17.95 gCO2e/MJ
RNG offers the greatest carbon reduction of any motor fuel including fully renewable electric
Fleets can affordably achieve net carbon negative NOW
NGVs are commercially available and scalable today
Nationwide fueling Infrastructure is in place
RNG is plentiful and domestically sourced
NGVs work for urban America, rural America, and everywhere in between
