Page 429 - In short, DOE's estimates of the gas that is ultimately available to American consumers can be considered conservative . We add that DOE's resource base estimates are similar to the most recent estimates made by the Potential Gas Committee (PGC) , a body of independent experts from throughout the natural gas industry. According to the latest PGC study, in the lower 48 states alone, conventionally recoverable gas at year-end 1988 (including "proven" reserves, which are already known to exist) was...
Page 433 - Our analytical task has been complicated by the fact that America has placed on the road a great mix of vehicles, with a great diversity in fuel consumption patterns that reflects differences in engine type as well as major jumps in energy efficiency as we move from one "vehicle vintage
Page 399 - These marketers sell over half the gasoline, 75 percent of the home heating oil and 60 percent of the diesel fuel consumed in this country.
Page 426 - We believe that such dedicated diesel-derived engines running on natural gas will be the accepted standard for heavy duty engines in the near future as they will allow heavy duty diesel engines to meet the EPA's upcoming diesel emission standards. The Gas Research Institute has allocated a total of $11 million through 1992 to developing this and other natural gas vehicle technology. Cummins Engine Company has Joined forces with the Gas Research Institute to develop a low emission heavy duty natural...

Unless or until consumers are convinced that the product meets their individual needs, or until public policy dictates a change in consumer habits. EVs, despite their public benefits, are not likely to displace conventionally-fueled vehicles.
Page 435 - DOE study referenced previously. Natural Gas: A Strategic Resource for the Future, provides a national perspective on possible gas demand for NGVs. The study speculates that, with low-cost but supportive public policies and vigorous efforts by the gas industry, natural gas could attain the following market shares by 2010: -5% of the mass market for- passenger vehicles -25% of the market for public and private fleet vehicles (excluding military vehicles) -75% of the market for ercial buses These are...
Page 420 - Many users report that oil changes need not occur more than every 10-20,000 miles, and spark plugs, points and other components have lasted up to 75,000 miles in some vehicles. SAFETY Unlike many other alternative fuels currently under development, natural gas has a long and rich history as a vehicle fuel dating back to the infancy of the automobile itself. There are currently over 500,000 natural gas fueled vehicles worldwide, including over 30,000 in the United States. The lesson we have learned...

Page 430 - Waxman (D-CA) asked AGA this question: In the context of both methanol and compressed natural gas, how much of the existing motor vehicle fleet in California and nationally could be powered for how long by currently known natural gas supplies? This question highlighted the fact that the domestic supply of natural gas is an elastic resource base. AGA responded to the question by pointing out that, for a given number of vehicles, the volumes of natural gas required to fuel the vehicles indirectly —...
