How much cleaner is natural gas to burn?

One of the tremendous benefits of switching to natural gas is that it is a cleaner energy source than other fuel oils burned for either industrial or vehicular use.

According to the organization CNG Now!, natural gas vehicles improve air quality through dramatic reductions in emissions such as:

• Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 20% to 30%

• Reducing carbon monoxide (CO) emissions up to 75%

• Reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by approximately 50%

• Reducing up to 95% of particulate matter (PM) emissions

• Reducing volatile organic compound (VOCs) emissions by 55%
