Since we often hear many of the same questions at Green Alternative Systems, we wanted to address some of the most common inquiries we get regarding CNG vehicles and conversions.

Why We Love Green Alternative Gas & You Should Too!
Alternative fuel conversions aren't just our business, they're also our passion at Green Alternative Systems.
Without exaggerating, it's safe to say that one of the most pressing problems facing the world today is how to keep our ever-expanding transportation lines running smoothly, without relying on rapidly-depleting fuels that harm the environment.
From public transportation to food shipments, to intercontinental flights, there are more vehicles traveling the globe than ever before.
There is also no doubt that we need those vehicles to sustain our current global society and economy. They allow farmers to feed the world, allow everyone to benefit from time-saving electronics, and allow people everywhere to travel and trade ideas like never before. To lose those transportation systems would mean regressing backward by centuries. But we can't ruin the planet in the process.

Why you should invest in alternative fuels: 5 Signs It's Time to Consider Propane or CNG Vehicles
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Propane are both quickly becoming the most popular alternative fuel sources in America and it's not hard to see why. There are abundant natural gas and propane resources within the United States, estimated to last for nearly a century at least.
Plus, initiatives researching biogas manufactured from waste could significantly augment and extend those natural gas reserves.
While propane and CNG vehicles won't be the last word in clean-energy propulsion, they're still an important step towards fuel systems that are sustainable throughout the 21st Century and less harmful to the planet than gasoline. 2017 is going to see plenty of organizations moving towards alternative fuels. Perhaps it's time to be among them…

Why are green alternative gases so cheap?
Green alternative gases are becoming more and more predominant across the country. Businesses in particular are looking toward using alternative gas because they are cheaper, more environmentally conscious, and provide access to attractive incentives provided by both State and Federal governments--including considerable tax reductions and exemptions.
For businesses that find themselves in such a situation, a better alternative may be converting their current fleets to using natural gas systems. The upfront costs of conversion may seem daunting, but most companies that convert to alternative fuel see the investment paid back quickly.

Propane and Alternative Fuel Vehicles and Buses Outperform Traditional Fuels
With budget cuts and unstable fuel prices, many school districts and transportation businesses are looking for alternative fuel vehicles and buses for sale in the hopes of reducing overall costs.
The benefits of converting to greener options easily offset the initial investment, especially during the colder winter months.
Increased Fuel Savings
Gas and diesel prices tend to fluctuate drastically and depend on a number of uncontrollable factors, like crude oil prices and supply levels. However, alternative fuels such as propane, tend to have fairly stable prices that are often below standard fuel prices. In fact, many propane providers offer programs that allow you to lock in the price of fuel over a set amount of time. This allows you to budget for fuel more efficiently and enjoy thousands of dollars worth in fuel savings alone
