Soaring prices of crude oil and diesel made people scrambling to look for alternative fuel. In the Philippines, there are inventions that were made to turn LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), cooking oil, urine, and even water as car fuel. With lack of support from the government, these inventions will have a long way to go before they could penetrate the mainstream.
However, there is this alternative fuel that is gaining ground from governments all over the world. And that is the compressed natural gas (CNG).
Did you know that a kilogram of CNG costs just a third of a liter of gasoline and half of that of diesel? That's how affordable this fuel is, that's why it acquired the needed support for its development and usage in some countries.
The transport sector of India is every much into CNG. The Philippines, on the other hand, has already launched CNG-ran buses plying it the cities major thoroughfares.
According to the Gas Authority of India, vehicles running on CNG emit 88% to 98% less carbon, and 12% to 32% less hydrocarbon than those vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel.
So there. CNG is not only cheaper, but more environment-friendly than mainstream fuels.
