Emissions and Performance Evaluation of a Dedicated Compressed Natural Gas Saturn

Research output: NRELSubcontract Report

Abstract

The use of compressed natural gas (CNG) as a transportation fuel has been identified as one strategy that can help ameliorate some problems, which include a growing dependence on imported oil (and all its ramifications) and the persistent contributions that mobile sources make to urban air pollution, associated with the use of conventional pteroleum fuels. This study was undertaken to build on aprevious study that determined how a CNG vehicle could be engineered so it could be produced with a minimal impact on the production of the base vehicle. The present study further investigated the emissions reduction potential of the Saturn CNG vehicle.
