Audi updates A3 Sportback g-tron with increased tank volume for greater natural gas range

Green Car Congress

Compared to gasoline, combustion of natural gas emits 25% less CO 2 due to the lowest carbon content of all hydrocarbons. Just as before, there are two tanks made of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP/CFRP) beneath the luggage compartment floor of the five-door car, each of which hold roughly seven kilograms (15.4 lb) of gas.

ICCT study concludes no technical barriers to use of higher blends of ethanol

Green Car Congress

The consumption scenarios are technically achievable but do not reflect significant barriers such as cost, regulation, legality, and consumer acceptance. Studies have found slightly higher emissions of NO x and lower emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons in vehicles operating on E15 or E20 compared with those using E0.
