Safety
There are over one million NGVs in use around the world, and the
safety record is excellent. With todays state-of-the-art fueling
stations, fueling your NGV is just as safe as driving it.
Environmental Benefits
Natural gas burns cleaner than gasoline and other alternative fuels,
reducing tailpipe emissions by up to 95%. In addition, factory-built
NGVs produce emission levels lower than any other fuel except hydrogen,
even lower than some electric cars when power plant emissions are
taken into account.
NGVs also reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, the principal "greenhouse"
gas that contributes to global warming. NGVs emit virtually no harmful
particulate matter (PM) and dont contain benzene (a known
carcinogen). Because natural gas is transported by underground pipeline
directly to refueling stations, transport spills are eliminated.
In the event of a leak, there is no risk of soil or water contamination
because of natural gas's non-carcinogenic, non-toxic and non-corrosive
qualities.
