Autogas is a green, clean-burning alternative fuel
listed in the Clean Air Act (1990) and the Energy
Policy Act (1992).
When Autogas for America reaches its goal of 500,000
Autogas vehicles on the road, the reduced emissions will
be drastic. Assuming that 500,000 light-duty Autogas
vehicles, each traveling approximately 50,000 miles
annually, replaced the same number of conventional
gasoline vehicles, the reduced emissions will include
approximately:
- 150,500 tons of carbon monoxide
- 8,600 tons of volatile organic compound
- 18,200 tons of nitrogen oxide emissions
- 28 tons of fine particulate matter
In all, more than 2.65 million tons of greenhouse
gases would be displaced each year.
Vehicles that run on Autogas can expect substantial
reductions in greenhouse gas and particulate matter
emissions compared to gasoline-powered vehicles.
