Three Key Transportation Facts to Know this Earth Day

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
