1. CNG Grant Encouragement To Own And Operate Natural Gas
Vehicles
Today there is tremendous growth identified in the CNG industry that aims at facilitating and encouraging
people to own and operate a CNG vehicle or heavy-duty or medium-duty motor vehicle using natural gas.
With the CNG grant one is empowered to run the vehicle with a natural gas engine or replace the vehicle
with a natural gas vehicle. For these grant the applicants must go through a particular process under a
participating dealer under contract. For people it is an opportunity to own a CNG car mostly their first car,
ensuring sustainable productivity and conserving the environment.
Since the economy has become extremely dependent on
petroleum-based fuel with a changeover to an alternative fuel in
the form of CNG-compressed natural gas will necessitate a lot of
reconfiguration of the economy. Many countries have picked up
the pace and there is help available in the form of grants to
motivate people to make the move from gasoline to CNG. CNG
Texas provides grants to encourage individuals or enterprise that
owns and operates a heavy-duty or medium-duty motor vehicle to
switch the vehicle with a natural gas engine or replace the vehicle
with a natural gas vehicle.
Building Compressed Natural Gas Fueling Stations is an
expensive project and unlike gasoline or diesel stations, CNG
station is built keeping in view the fleet requirement. Greater Houston NGV Alliance is a broad-based
collaboration of private and public interests that work to raise awareness of natural gas vehicles to both
policy makers and the general public. The enterprise is involved in providing infrastructure needs for
building CNG stations as well as providing environmental, economic and job creation benefits.
Building a CNG station is not a one size fits all project as for a retail application or a fleet it necessitates
calculation of the right combination of pressure and storage needs for the types of vehicles being fueled.
Making the right choices about the size of CNG compressor is significant as the amount of storage at the
station will make a big difference in the cost of fuel and range for vehicles. You will find that two types of
CNG infrastructure are available for building stations such as time-fill and fast-fill. Storage capacity is the
main structural differences between the two systems as their compressor.
The Greater Houston Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Alliance offers several variants for a Fleet or End-User
Ownership model. These models typically apply to entities that have vehicles that require fueling and
desire to own the CNG gas stations that provides that fuel.
