Navigant forecasts global natural gas fleet of 34.9M by 2020

Green Car Congress

The increase is largely driven due to a combination of low-cost natural gas and sustained higher prices for gasoline and diesel in many countries, Navigant suggests. The differential in the cost of the fuels determines the payback on this additional equipment (currently between 2.5 and 6 years, depending on the vehicle).

Navigant forecasts global annual natural gas vehicle sales to reach 3.9M in 2025, up 62.5% from 2015

Green Car Congress

Due to the incremental costs of NGVs, limited fueling infrastructure, reduced utility, and progress on competitive electrification technology, Navigant expects only modest LD NGV demand growth in North America. These include the availability of refueling infrastructure, tightening tailpipe emissions requirements, and total cost of ownership.

Forecast: Global Natural Gas Vehicle Fleet to Reach 17 Million by 2015

Green Car Congress

Light-duty NGVs are not readily available in North America and parts of Asia, and are, in many cases, completely unavailable to private owners, the report notes. Conversely, in Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil, Iran, and India—the top five markets for NGVs—there are a variety of light-duty NGVs available. Availability.

Forecast: 17M Natural Gas Vehicles Worldwide by 2015

Green Car Congress

The top five markets for NGVs are currently Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil, Iran, and India. This rapid expansion will largely be due to the availability of refueling stations and the growth of government emissions rules in large cities in India. Availability. to reach just over 3 million vehicles (including conversions) by 2015.

MIT and IEA reports take different views of the future of natural gas in transportation

Green Car Congress

Because of the lower carbon/hydrogen ratio of methane (CH 4 ) relative to gasoline, CO 2 emissions from the combustion of natural gas are approximately 75% of those of gasoline for a given amount of energy production. emissions are reduced by around 25% relative to the use of gasoline for the same engine efficiency.
