The first step in CNG Bus Purchase is to determine the costs and benefits. Let us walk you through the process. Compressed Natural Gas or CNG, is a very safe alternative fuel – both for the environment and the children that ride in our CNG-powered school buses.

School buses travel over four billion miles each year, providing the safest transportation to and from school for more than 25 million American children every day. However, exhaust from diesel buses can harm health, especially in children, who have a faster breathing rate than adults and whose lungs are not yet fully developed according to the EPA.

The quality and expertise of NGV Global Group is unmatched and backed by years of experience and reliability.  We have rebuilt these buses to be easy to maintain and to give you the best performance throughout the life of the vehicle. With our high quality craftsmanship and an awesome power train warranty, you can be confident in your clean fuel transition. Plus, natural gas’ low carbon content translates into longer oil change intervals, less engine wear and a longer engine life.

Older diesel engines can be replaced with newer engines using diesel, biodiesel or compressed natural gas (CNG). The new engine should be certified to meet the most recent emission standards and come with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC). Our engines that are used in our school bus conversions meet all emission standards. 

A lot of time there are budget constraints that prevent school districts and other agencies from purchasing due to upfront costs. NGV Global Group offers a school bus leasing option to ease any financial tensions in a time where every dollar counts. President of NGV Global Group, Fury Zaidi stated, “We want to give everyone an opportunity, no matter how big or small to have the ability to participate in cleaner air options. Our flexible school bus leasing option levels the playing field for any fleet size.” A lot of districts are already in the proximity of CNG stations in their area and have the infrastructure in place to support their alternative fueling leasing options.

Our long term lease-to-purchase option of CNG powered vehicles levels the financial playing field by removing the price differential of a natural gas bus versus a diesel truck. By operating on CNG, many of our customers simply allow the fuel savings to accommodate for leasing payments while the company manages the cash flow situation.

Virtually all the world’s demand for electricity to run transport and to heat and cool homes and offices, as well as to provide the power demanded by industry, could be met by renewable energy by mid-century.

This is the consensus of 47 peer-reviewed research papers from 13 independent groups with a total of 91 authors that have been brought together by Stanford University in California.

Some of the papers take a broad sweep across the world, adding together the potential for each technology to see if individual countries or whole regions could survive on renewables.

Special examinations of small island states, sub-Saharan Africa and individual countries like Germany look to see what are the barriers to progress and how they could be removed.

In every case the findings are that the technology exists to achieve 100% renewable power if the political will to achieve it can be mustered.

The collection of papers is a powerful rebuff to those who say that renewables are not reliable or cannot be expanded fast enough to take over from fossil fuels and nuclear power.

Once proper energy efficiency measures are in place, a combination of wind, solar and water power, with various forms of storage capacity, can add up to 100% of energy needs in every part of the planet.

Stanford puts one of its own papers at the top of the list. It studies the impacts of the Green New Deal proposals on grid stability, costs, jobs, health and climate in 143 countries.

With the world already approaching 1.5°C of heating, it says, seven million people killed by air pollution annually, and limited fossil fuel resources potentially sparking conflict, Stanford’s researchers wanted to compare business-as-usual with a 100% transition to wind-water-solar energy, efficiency and storage by 2050 – with at least 80% by 2030.

By grouping the countries of the world together into 24 regions co-operating on grid stability and storage solutions, supply could match demand by 2050-2052 with 100% reliance on renewables. The amount of energy used overall would be reduced by 57.1%, costs would fall by a similar amount, and 28.6 million more long-term full-time jobs would be created than under business-as-usual.

Clean Air Bonus

The remarkable consensus among researchers is perhaps surprising, since climate and weather conditions differ so much in different latitudes. It seems though that as the cost of renewables, particularly wind and solar, has tumbled, and energy storage solutions multiplied, every part of the world can now find a system that edges fossil fuels out in costs.

RNG is a current renewable Energy and the one of the only available to the Trucking industry right now. CNG Vehicles also known as Compressed natural gas or natural gas vehicles is a now option. Schedule your free consultation today and let us go over your sustainability needs. Original Story

Vehicle Performance

Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) are similar to gasoline or diesel vehicles with regard to power, acceleration, and cruising speed. The driving range of NGVs is generally less than that of comparable gasoline and diesel vehicles because, with natural gas, less overall energy content can be stored in the same size tank. Extra natural gas storage tanks or the use of LNG can help increase range for larger vehicles.

In heavy-duty vehicles, dual-fuel, compression-ignited engines are slightly more fuel-efficient than spark-ignited dedicated natural gas engines. However, a dual-fuel engine increases the complexity of the fuel-storage system by requiring storage of both types of fuel and the integration of diesel aftertreatment devices.

Lower Emissions

All CNG vehicles are equipped with effective emission control systems and must meet the same emissions standards, regardless of fuel type. Consequently, tailpipe emissions from natural gas vehicles are comparable to those of gasoline and diesel vehicles equipped with modern emissions controls. According to Argonne National Laboratory’s Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation (GREET) model, light-duty vehicles running on conventional and shale natural gas can reduce life cycle greenhouse gas emissions by 15% (84% if running on RNG). In addition, because CNG fuel systems are completely sealed, the vehicles produce no evaporative emissions.

Natural gas produced via renewable methods offers additional benefits. Renewable natural gas (RNG) is essentially biogas—the gaseous product of the decomposition of organic matter—that has been processed to purity standards. Capturing biogas from landfills and livestock operations reduces emissions by preventing methane release into the atmosphere. Methane is 25 times stronger than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Additionally, producing biogas through anaerobic digestion reduces odors and produces nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer.

Dive Brief:

• CEO Jim Fish indicated Waste Management will continue to bet big on converting its fleet from diesel to compressed natural gas (CNG) in comments at the company’s annual Phoenix sustainability forum. “By the end of the year, almost 70% of our trucks on the road will run on CNG, and by the end of next year it will be almost 75%,” he said at the Jan. 30 event.
• An estimated 65% of the company’s fleet currently runs on CNG and about one-third of those vehicles are powered by renewable natural gas (RNG), according to Fish. He described this effort as a “big part” of reaching Waste Management’s 2038 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions offset target.
• As of spring 2017, an estimated 44% of Waste Management’s fleet was CNG. While other competitors are also investing in the technology, a December 2019 report by investment firm Stifel estimated the industrywide average for CNG adoption remains around 20%.  

Dive Insight:

Waste Management’s 10th annual sustainability forum, hosted in conjunction with its sponsorship of the Phoenix Open golf tournament, was a continuation of the company’s effort to be a “thought leader” in the industry around environmental and social topics. While the value of such a showcase may be rising amid investor interest in climate issues, it’s often still hard to gauge exactly what this event means in terms of business strategy compared to other large competitors.

Fleet investment is one tangible metric showing how Waste Management plans to mark progress on its pledge to offset four times the amount of GHG it generates from operations. According to the company’s latest sustainability update, 2018 fleet emissions were down by 30% against a 2010 baseline. Waste Management seeks to hit a 45% reduction by 2038.

When asked by Waste Dive at last year’s forum whether a 2038 GHG offset target was too far off, given the urgency of most climate projections, Fish specifically pointed to fleet investment. The company replaced approximately 10% of its 18,000 truck fleet in 2018 and was on track to do the same in 2019, which he said “speaks to our urgency.” Scientists and environmental groups, however, have argued CNG still contributes to global warming and poses problems as a fuel. 

Compared to other large competitors, Waste Management is by far the most active in emphasizing CNG. Republic Services reported about 20% of its fleet being “powered by natural gas” through 2018. Waste Connections reported using CNG for 11.3% of its routed trucks and GFL Environmental was at 13.6% CNG for its solid waste collection fleet. Advanced Disposal Services reported a 19% CNG fleet, which could temporarily skew Waste Management’s fleet percentage downward if it receives antitrust approval to acquire the company.

Companies have been investing in CNG vehicles for years, especially in urban areas where access to fueling infrastructure is more common. The trucks have clear maintenance savings as compared to diesel, after the initial payback period, and operators can also find additional benefits by using RNG from their own landfills. Yet, as noted in the Stifel report, it’s now seen as increasingly likely the industry could reach 50% electric vehicles (EV) before it hits 50% CNG.

“If EV can get the truck capital cost down and hours of service (HOS) costs in line with CNG and diesel, the fuel and maintenance savings would dwarf both diesel and CNG,” reads the report.

Fish and others in Waste Management’s leadership team have said before they don’t think a 100% CNG future is likely anyway, given challenges with fueling infrastructure in more rural areas, but as of now they remain committed to this path. While others will be piloting electric collection vehicles this year – including Republic Services, New York’s Department of Sanitation and possibly the Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation – the industry giant has made no such pledge.

As electric collection vehicles become more common both domestically and abroad, given mounting attention on how fleet emissions factor into climate change, the question is likely to keep coming up. Asked about the potential of electric vehicles generally during the WasteExpo investor summit last May, Fish remained skeptical about how quickly they could overtake the marketplace.

“It’s not going to surpass gasoline vehicles in my lifetime probably,” he said, while leaving room to change course. “If a better technology comes along, we can turn on a dime.”

US and Canadian Natural Gas truck retail sales for the first eleven months of 2019 gained 20% year-to-date over 2018, as published in the quarterly report (AFQ: Alternative Fuels Quarterly) just released by ACT Research. Full-year 2018 was down 15%, while 2017 was up 13%.

The ACT Alternative Fuels Quarterly (AFQ) provides insight, analysis, and trends about alternative fuel/power adoption for the US heavy and medium duty commercial vehicle markets. “Bucking the declining pattern of the past few years, year-to-date November 2019 sales appear to be gaining ground, with sales of natural-gas powered vehicles on an overall upward trajectory,” said Ken Vieth, Senior Partner and General Manager at ACT Research. He continued, “That said and based on news released in the popular press, natural gas vehicle purchases were dominated by refuse fleets, as well as transit and school bus operators. Among truckers, the majority of incremental volume came from existing natural gas vehicle on-highway users replacing units or adding to their fleets.”

NGV Global Group’s Truck leasing program offers businesses to save on their bottom line. NGV Global Group’s Dmitri Tisnoi said, “With the use of CNG you can let your fuel savings pay for your monthly truck payments. That is right, even in low diesel price market NGV have customers who use over 50 gallons per day realizing a greater amount in fuel saving than their truck payment, all while being good stewards of the environment.” With stricter trucking regulations and laws NGV Global Group’s CNG Trucks allows businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and save money. It’s a no brainer. Really the question is why haven’t you explored your options.

Original story

There’s much debate about how the upcoming International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulation on sulfur emissions, going into effect on January 1^st, will impact fuel prices and the economics of transportation.

There’s little doubt that the most sweeping maritime fuel regulation seen in years will affect the global transportation industry—the question is by how much and for how long?

With the IMO deadline less than 30 days away, the time for on-road fleet managers to prepare for both the immediate and long-term implications of this regulation is now. By implementing cost-effective, reliable and price stable fuel options today, fleet managers can remain resilient to unanticipated disruptions to the global fuel supply in the future.

What is the IMO 2020?

The IMO’s new fuel regulation will soon implement an international mandate to reduce sulfur content in marine fuel oil from 3.5% to 0.5%.

Ocean-going vessels rely on “bunker fuel” or “heavy fuel oil” (HFO). This fuel type is considered a lower-grade fuel and is less refined than higher-grade fuels, such as gasoline and diesel. Less refined HFO contains higher levels of several compounds, including up to 4.5% sulfur; making the emissions from vessels burning high sulfur HFO more polluting, and more harmful, compared to other fuels.

Sulfur oxide, the criteria pollutant the IMO’s regulation targets, effects both human health and the environment—contributing to ocean acidification, acid rain and respiratory disease. The IMO’s new low sulfur fuel regulation is expected to result in an annual reduction of 8.5 million metric tons of sulfur oxide emissions globally.

How a Marine Regulation Could Affect On-Road Trucking

As the IMO’s regulation nears, it’s becoming more evident that the maritime industry is unprepared to handle the transition to the required low sulfur fuel. The long-term impacts of this regulation could spread beyond marine vessels to other industries, including on-road transportation.

According to an IMO analysis at Wood Mackenzie, our global refining system is not equipped to produce the volumes of low sulfur fuel needed to power the world’s shipping industry by the time the regulation goes into effect. While there are existing stockpiles of low sulfur fuel available, Wood Mackenzie points out that existing supply will likely not be enough to buffer global reserves until supply eventually catches up with demand—about 3.5 million barrels a day from the global maritime sector in 2018.

Implications for On-Road

With so many unknowns and contributing factors at play, the IMO 2020 regulation could lead to a fuel price increase. If demand spikes in 2020 and beyond, and reserves or refinery production are insufficient to meet that demand, the shipping industry could turn to diesel products. This increased demand could mean higher diesel prices globally, which would impact the U.S. trucking industry.

Avoiding Price Volatility with a Diversified Fueling Portfolio

With the on-road transportation industry waiting for the still unknown impacts of this new regulation, shippers and fleets can seek cost-effective, reliable and price stable fuel options that are more resilient to global petroleum supply disruptions.

Implementing domestically produced fuels—including natural gas, renewable natural gas, hydrogen and electricity—enables fleets to reduce an already highly variable expense while minimizing exposure to price volatility.

With over 25 years of fleet fueling experience, Trillium, a member of the Love’s Family of Companies, offers unmatched expertise providing clean fuels to fleet operators. Abundant, price-stable, domestically produced fuels like natural gas give fleet operators a cost-effective option to diversify their fueling for the long term. Fleets can safeguard against unforeseen or unavoidable price volatility, reduce their carbon footprint with more environmentally friendly and sustainable operations and reduce harmful emissions.

Trillium works with fleet customers to identify the clean fuel and power supply sources that work best for their needs—balancing cost, reliability, deployment timelines, location and scale. Leading up to their alternative fuel transition, fleets can start utilizing Love’s price protection program now, locking in diesel prices for the short term, further reducing risk and minimizing exposure to price volatility.

Trillium’s core goal is to ensure customers have access to a steady supply of clean, competitively priced fuel at predictable prices.

Stable, Cost-Effective, Clean Fuels for Fleets

One of the most abundant fuels produced domestically is compressed natural gas (CNG). On average, natural gas prices are 30% to 50% lower than diesel, and much more stable. Natural gas utilities transport this domestic, clean, abundant energy source to CNG stations via 2.5 million miles of existing pipeline infrastructure in the U.S. The U.S. is the number one natural gas producer in the world.

Produced from organic waste, renewable natural gas (RNG) is a pipeline quality, ultra-low carbon, domestic fuel. Renewable fuels and technologies can generate additional revenue for producers and users through the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits, which are the currency of California’s LCFS and the Federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) programs, respectively. Trillium works with customers to deliver these fuels and the value they bring to a fleet’s the bottom line.

While CNG and RNG are the most abundant alternative to diesel nationwide, for some fleets—depending on duty cycle, location, vocation, available incentives, regulatory pressures and other factors—electricity and hydrogen may also soon be effective fueling options for the U.S. trucking industry. Regardless of the fuel type, Trillium partners with fleets to identify the right fueling options that maximize efficiency, cost savings and operating performance.

NGV Global Group in Dallas, Texas, is dedicated to helping a variety of fleets like large trucking companies, oil and gas companies and government agencies in reducing their operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions. NGV Global group converts trucks and even off-road applications such as drilling rigs and power generation needs to operate completely on natural gas.

“NGV Global Group, Inc. designs, manufactures, distributes and supports natural gas-operated medium-and heavy-duty commercial vehicles sold worldwide,” said Dimitri Tisnoi, Chief Operating Officer at NGV Global Group.

Initially starting as NGV Texas Inc., the company was founded over 10 years ago by Fury Zaidi. They began converting light-duty vehicles to natural gas, which has flourished, into serving medium to heavy-duty vehicles. In addition, they now bulk deliver natural gas, compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas and other gases in high-pressure trailers. With their growth, they expanded into a new 90,000 square foot conversion and manufacturing facility in Dallas and are serving government agencies, municipalities, large trucking companies and oil and gas companies.

Tisnoi believes that natural gas for transportation and off-road use will expand substantially in the coming years and NGV Global Group can help others decrease the waste of natural gas, (flare gas, landfills, and more) and increase the utilization for transportation and energy production.

“Given product portfolio, high volume capabilities, global footprint, and deep expertise across medium-duty and high-duty applications, NGV Global is well-positioned to benefit from this shift. Also, the market for mobile natural gas delivery services, also known as ‘Virtual Pipeline,’ creates great expansion opportunities for NGV Global Group,” said Tisnoi.

NGV Global group strives to be present in their community so that they can educate and help people understand the benefits of natural gas. If more people are aware of the positive effects of natural gas, as a fuel, Tisnoi said it can “significantly benefit the environment, local economy, and energy independence.”

NGV Global Group subsidiary Natural Gas Vehicle Texas (NGV Texas), offers SMB’s, government and Major Corporations “Green Truck,” rental and leasing options to reduce their carbon footprint. Whether customers want to rent a CNG vehicle for a test trial period or outright lease a fleet of trucks, NGV Texas offers plenty of options to fulfill their needs. NGV Texas continues to expand and develop its truck rental and leasing branch in Dallas Texas as its parent company is set to expand its business due to industry demands.

Why CNG trucks for alternative fuel is an easy answer. The World’s cleanest heavy-duty truck engines run on natural gas. The newest natural gas engines with Near-Zero  – or “Zero Emissions Equivalent” – technology produces 90% fewer NOx emissions than the current standard. In fact, the cleanest heavy-duty truck engine in the world is powered by natural gas. And when fueled with renewable natural gas, it has up to 115 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than diesel counterparts well-to-wheel. Diesel exhaust is responsible for 70% of the cancer risk from airborne toxics. 

In addition to CNG trucks and their potential to lower air pollution, they also help companies meet the demands of federal, state and local government regulations. With growing regulations making it harder and harder on the industry to operate under its current infrastructure many companies are looking to alternatives that make sense. CNG and LNG vehicles offer a realistic alternative with no reduction in power while meeting all regulations. 

UPS’s recent announcement to add six thousand more compressed natural gas trucks to its fleet points towards CNG heavy-duty vehicles continued growth. UPS isn’t the only trucking company that sees the benefit to making the switch. NGV vehicles are commercially available and in production across all applications, there are more than 175,000 natural gas vehicles on U.S. roads today, spanning all weight classes and vehicle applications. NGV Texas offers several natural gas vehicle options. 

Whether it’s box trucks, Tractor trailers or school buses, NGV Texas is here to accommodate your fleet’s needs. All vehicles come with a powertrain warranty making it worry free when making the switch to natural gas vehicles. Let us help you make the transition to the number one alternative fuel for heavy-duty fleets. Our long term lease-to-purchase option of CNG powered vehicles levels the financial playing field by removing the price differential of a natural gas truck versus a diesel truck. By operating on CNG, many of our customers simply allow the fuel savings to accommodate for leasing payments while the company manages the cash flow situation.Contact us today at (214) 630-1000 for further details.

For those losing sleep during this stifling summer over the very real prospect of human extinction, here’s a sliver of good news: Despite numerous attempts, President Donald Trump has laid only a tiny glove on the U.S. low-carbon power and transportation industries thus far.

With just a third of his term left, time and options are running low for a president who continues to deny climate science while serving as the fossil fuel industry’s Cheerleader-in-Chief.
