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

Green Car Congress

While compressed natural gas (CNG) will play a role, particularly for high-mileage fleets, the report suggests that the chemical conversion of gas into some form of liquid fuel may be the best pathway to significant market penetration. emissions are reduced by around 25% relative to the use of gasoline for the same engine efficiency.
