Benefits for business

 

Natural gas has proven to be the money-saving, reliable vehicle fuel for use in both public and private fleets. In addition to saving you money, natural gas offers a litany of other great benefits. Its uses range from semi-trailers to delivery vans, public transit to waste collection. Regardless the application, fleet-owners have found that the smart fuel is natural gas.

Natural gas is reliable energy

Natural gas has been used in vehicles since the 1920s. Other countries were relying on its benefits as a vehicle fuel long before its rapid rise in popularity across the U.S. And of course, our utilities have provided safe, reliable natural gas service to homes and businesses for over 100 years.

Nationwide infrastructure already exists

Over 2.4 million miles of underground natural gas pipelines serve 71 million natural gas customers across the United States.

Natural gas saves you money

Natural gas prices have been low and stable for some time, and projections call for natural gas prices to remain stable for the foreseeable future. Adding or replacing just a few gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicles in your fleet can yield long-term savings and peace of mind through fuel diversification.

Natural gas burns cleaner

Natural gas vehicles produce lower tailpipe emissions than gasoline or diesel engines. Converting one refuse truck to natural gas from diesel fuel reduces emissions by an amount equal to that of 325 gasoline-powered cars.

Natural gas is abundant

The United States has reliable access to a 100-year supply of natural gas, and new technologies could extend its availability even further.

Energy security

America has more natural gas than Saudi Arabia has oil. North America is the source for 98 percent of the natural gas used in the United States, reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
