ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION FUELS: NATURAL GAS, PROPANE, METHANOL AND ETHANOL, COMPARED WITH GASOLINE AND DIESEL

In early 1990, a study was undertaken to examine and compare the usefulness of natural gas, propane, methanol and ethanol in relation to gasoline and diesel fuel for potential use in the transportation industry. The study evaluated the potential environmental and economic benefits of each of the fuels examined, including the characteristics of each alternative fuel, the current and proposed regulations and emission requirements for the vehicle fleet, the use of alternate fuels internationally, and conversion scenarios for each fuel.
