17 Things to Take Away For 2017 With Green Alternative Systems

1. Natural gas is big in heavy fleets. Major operations such as UPS are on track to move 100% of their heavy fleet to natural gas.

2. Prices are stabilizing. Natural gas is becoming steadily more affordable in the US, in more areas of the country, with less month-to-month price fluctuation.

3. Serious fuel savings. While prices may still vary, on average, compressed natural gas (CNG) currently costs $1.50-$2 less per equivalent gallon than traditional gasoline when factoring in increased per-gallon mileage.

4. Less gasoline reliance is becoming a reality. Natural gas is already saving over 500 million gallons of gasoline per year.

5. More business models for converting are now available, with the EPA steadily recognizing more alternative fuel program installer initiatives and offering more tax rebates for alternative-fuel investment.

6. Partnerships are becoming more attractive, with dealers offering vehicle leases along with maintenance, training, and\or fuel station access.

7. Emissions keep getting lower, helping push the long-term argument for gasoline alternatives as protecting the planet.

8. Total emission savings include: 70-90% less CO2 and 75-95% less NOx.

9. Conversion costs are lower too, with many consumer or light-duty vehicles able to be converted for only a few thousand dollars.

10. We won't run out anytime soon.  According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the US has nearly a century's worth of natural gas recoverable within its borders.

11. The numbers are growing. The US now has more than 150,000 natural gas-powered vehicles on the roads and over 1,600 fueling stations.

12. Over fifty manufacturers now make gas-alternative engines, with more joining every year.

13. Fleet vehicle usage is increasing. For example, over 50% of newly-purchased waste disposal vehicles now run on natural gas.

14. Public transit is another key sector, with over 20% of transit buses now running on either compressed or liquid natural gas.

15. Save on maintenance costs. Since natural gas burns more cleanly than gasoline, that means less buildup, wear, and tear on your engines.

16. The states leading the conversion charge are: Texas, California, Louisiana, New York, and Florida, accounting for nearly 40% of US natural gas use.

17. Biogas could be the future, with growing initiatives into creating renewable natural gas from waste materials and landfills.
