MIT and IEA reports take different views of the future of natural gas in transportation

Green Car Congress

Because of the lower carbon/hydrogen ratio of methane (CH 4 ) relative to gasoline, CO 2 emissions from the combustion of natural gas are approximately 75% of those of gasoline for a given amount of energy production. MIT: leaning toward conversion for light-duty vehicles. These include short-range, heavy-duty vehicles (e.g.,
