    Compressed Natural Gas

    What is Compressed Natural Gas?

    • Natural gas compressed to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure
    • Drawn from domestically drilled gas wells or in conjunction with crude oil production
    • Consists mostly of methane, and is odorless, colorless and tasteless

    How Compressed Natural Gas Helps the Environment

    • Replaces more emissions-heavy gasoline and diesel
    • Produces clean, affordable fuel
    • Produces lower urban and greenhouse gas emissions in vehicles than gasoline and diesel
    • Costs less than gasoline and diesel

    Why CNG is Great For the Future

    Availability
    U.S. recoverable natural gas reserves can meet total domestic demand through the end of the century.

    Cost savings
    The retail price of CNG over time is typically 40 to 50 percent less than an equivalent quantity of gasoline or diesel.

    Growth
    More than 1,500 commercial CNG refueling stations currently operate in the U.S.

    Reduced emissions
    CNG powered vehicles emit up to 25% less carbon dioxide than gasoline or diesel powered vehicles.

    How Avista contributes to compressed natural gas initiatives.
    • We've supported CNG initiatives since the 1980s.
    • In the past few years, we've upgraded three of our primary CNG fueling facilities and added more than 90 CNG powered vehicles to our utility fleet..
    • We're actively involved in providing regional natural gas vehicle operators and compressed natural gas infrastructure developers the information they need to consider CNG for their use
