Study: US Dependence on Energy Imports Worsened by NGV Inroads

摘要

When it comes to lowering US dependence on oil imports, compressed natural gas-fueled cars may not be the best answer. In fact, they might be a huge step in the wrong direction, according to a Baker Institute analysis. Ironically, the vast new supplies of natural gas that will keep the US from becoming overly dependent on LNG imports and increase the nation's energy security will also make it possible for electrified vehicles - the CNG vehicle's chief rival - to make deep inroads into the automotive fleet.
