Renewable natural gas is an amazing clean fuel. It can deliver diesel-like range and performance on the highway, while emitting vastly reduced tailpipe emissions. So why won't environmental regulatory agency approve it as a practical solution to help fleets move away from diesel toward cleaner fuels?
HDT sat down with Chad Lindholm, executive vice president, sales, for Clean Energy for some perspective on the future of RNG in heavy-duty trucking applications.
What You'll Learn in This Episode of HDT Talks Trucking:
- Why long-haul trucking has a ZEV problem
- Why RNG might be an extremely viable fuel for long-haul trucking
- What emissions advantages does RNG offer over diesel fuel?
- Do regulators have a bias against internal combustion engines?
- Why RNG might be a clean-fuel game-changer for fleets
- Where does RNG come from?
- What RNG engine options are available today?
