Natural Gas Inventives
Why switch to CNG?
Reduction of harmful emissions into the atmosphere resulting in cleaner, healthier air.
Fuel is cheaper per Gasoline Gallon Equivalent (GGE) over gasoline or diesel.
The United States has an enormous supply of Natural Gas that can easily support widespread use of CNG as a transportation fuel for years to come.
American supply means less dependence on foreign sources of energy, resulting in more control over prices and greater national security.
Right now, there are many governmental incentives enabling Americans to invest in CNG vehicles and infrastructure.
Building CNG fueling infrastructure now lays the foundation for even cleaner, more efficient hydrogen fueling of the future.
Governmental Incentives
In the United States, federal, state, and regional governments are actively encouraging Americans to invest in improving the country’s energy infrastructure. The last ten years have seen wildly fluctuating and steadily growing fuel costs, environmental awareness, and concern about the effects of pollution on our health. It is apparent that energy production and consumption are at the heart of these matters. As a result, the U.S. government has insisted upon more stringent emission regulations and the development of renewable, domestic, and cleaner fuels to supply America’s industrial and transportational needs. It is also actively encouraging this infrastructure development through grants and tax incentives.
The most efficient starting point for researching the ever-changing landscape of governmental incentives is the website for the Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center within the U.S. Department of Energy. It maintains a database with current state and federal alternative energy incentives and laws: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/incentives_laws.html
