September 21, 2023. The Spanish Gas Association (Sedigas) launched an information campaign that advocates promoting the transition of vehicles towards the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) as an alternative for sustainable mobility. “This initiative aims to contribute to the decarbonization of transportation and move towards a future of 100% renewable mobility, using CNG as a bridge to energy sources such as biomethane (Bio-CNG),” sources from the association pointed out in a note of press.
From Sedigas they recalled that “CNG is one of the most sustainable and proven fuels on the market, with decades of experience in natural gas applications in heating, air conditioning, hot water and cooking systems. In addition, its safety makes it ideal for use in vehicle fleets. CNG is part of the natural gas vehicles (NGV) family, and has become a choice that more and more companies with their own fleets and professionals in sectors such as transportation, urban mobility and construction are betting on. Without going any further, at the end of 2022 there were close to 35,000 vehicles powered by CNG in Spain, a figure that continues to grow.”
“The majority of existing fleets can already be adapted for the use of natural gas. If they meet the technical requirements, it would only be necessary to add one or more CNG tanks, install a new fuel injection system and add an electronic kit to manage the fuel. The process is very simple, it is carried out in a short time and it becomes profitable very quickly,” stated sources from Sedigas.
