IEA working paper highlights potential role of natural gas in reducing global road transport CO2

Green Car Congress

On average, a 25% reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions can be expected on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis when replacing gasoline by light-duty vehicles (LDVs) running on compressed natural gas (CNG). The paper uses Brazil, India, Iran, Pakistan, the US and Europe as case studies.
