Corporate and government sector policymakers are gravitating toward increased use of alternative transportation fuels, including natural gas and renewable natural gas (RNG). The CEO of the nation’s largest gas utility said that in the years ahead all of the alternatives from electric vehicles (EV) to fuel cell technology will be needed.

A new near-zero-emission engine advance for heavy-duty vehicles (HDV), combined with the use of renewable natural gas (RNG), or biomethane, may provide transportation that is as at least as “clean” as electric vehicles (EV), according to a report released Tuesday.

If aggressively implemented, a combination of low-emission alternative fuels and efficiency advances could reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the transportation sector by 29% by 2030, a study by a Boston-based research firm said.

Nearly half of the natural gas used in transportation in California last year was renewable natural gas (RNG), or biomethane, and the overall volumes of fuel for natural gas vehicles (NGV) have been increasing at the rate of 250% annually for the past three years, according to a recent report from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

The market for renewable natural gas (RNG) as a transportation fuel is growing, with new interest in Southern California and Scandinavia.
