The City of Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus (BBB) has become one of the country’s first municipal transit authorities to convert its fleet to renewable natural gas (RNG), rated 90% cleaner than diesel. Renewable Methane Gas is processed through a filtration and refining process and transported via pipeline to end users.

Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion. Ammonia, meanwhile, has half the energy density of diesel fuel, so ships would need twice as much of it.
