What are the benefits of LNG?
LNG\’s numerous benefits are leading to a growing appreciation of its potential as a transportation fuel for heavy-duty vehicles. These benefits include: Higher energy density. Since it\’s a liquid, a greater volume of LNG can be stored in a smaller space. Especially onboard a vehicle, getting the greatest possible range and lowest weight are important considerations. Speed of fueling. Large vehicles can often be filled in four to six minutes, and fuel composition can be determined with a high degree of accuracy since most LNG produced for vehicles is now in the 99+ percent range for methane. This control over composition results in a more finely tuned fuel system and engine, which leads to optimization of engine performance and thus greater fuel economy and lower emissions. Deliver and availability. LNG is frequently transported in trailer trucks that hold up to 44,000 litres, in small tank trucks and trailers, railcars, barges, and 30 million-gallon LNG ships. LNG trailer trucks are
