Persistence Does Pay Off

This presentation discusses the successful establishment of Rhode Island's first public-use CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) station at T.F. Green Airport. Highlighting reduced air emissions and compliance with stringent environmental regulations, the project illustrates the transition from traditional fuels to CNG, driven by a 2005 Executive Order by Governor Carcieri. Key milestones include the selection of AVSG for design and installation, and the deployment of CNG-powered shuttle buses. The initiative not only showcases the benefits of CNG as a cleaner alternative but also promotes renewable energy usage through bio-methane.

  9. CNG • CNG meets the tightest environmental restrictions with around 20% lower CO2. • Using CNG from bio-methane means that zero CO2 transportation is now available. • Substitute for gasoline (petrol), diesel, or propane fuel. • Environmentally "clean" alternative and it is much safer than other motor fuels in the event of a fuel spill. • Methane (CH4), to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure.
