Use of Gas (CNG or Biomethane) as Fuel Came to Save Consumers’ Budgets and Becomes a Better Alternative to Replace Gasoline and Diesel in Light and Heavy Vehicles, Further Reducing Pollution
The use of gas (CNG or Biomethane) as fuel in light and heavy vehicles is one of the solutions found as an alternative to the use of gasoline and diesel to reduce pollution and also for those looking to ease the burden of the constant price hikes in fuels.
In Rio de Janeiro, the use of CNG in passenger vehicles is common, based on the cost-benefit ratio of the product and also helps combat GHGs (greenhouse gases).
Through Environmental Governance (ESG), companies have been demanding “environmentally correct” behavior from the market. With that in mind, as an alternative to diesel and gasoline, some trucks and agricultural machines powered by gas can be observed. This technology, which uses Otto cycle engines, allows the use of both CNG (a fossil fuel, but less polluting) and Biomethane (gas obtained from the anaerobic fermentation of organic material).
