| Globally there is a growing awareness of the environmental concerns around the use of traditional fuels. Gas powered vehicles with low, or zero, emissions from exhausts and a reduced carbon footprint are part of the future. There are several drivers for change, including: An increasing awareness about air quality, especially within cities and urban areas, where tail pipe emissions are having a detrimental effect on health A growing demand for environmentally friendly fuels with a particular emphasis on reducing emissions, such as sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter and carbon dioxide (CO2) Concerns over the long term availability of existing traditional fuels at an affordable price and over future security of supply, particularly from politically unstable countries Growing numbers of publically accessible fuel stations which dispense gaseous fuels There are now increasing numbers of alternative gas fuelled vehicles, such as those powered by hydrogen (H2), compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), readily available. Within BCGA, gases used for vehicle fuels are the responsibility of Technical Sub-Committee 9 (TSC9). Members can login to access information on TSC9 via our Committee Meetings page. To support the role-out of alternative fuelled vehicles BCGA has worked with other bodies and developed the following guidance for those installing gaseous fuel infrastructure: |
