Environmental Benefits
Autogas is Cleaner and Greener - today's vehicles are much cleaner than they used to be but they still contribute to air pollution, vehicles converted to run on autogas produce far fewer of the harmful emissions associated with traditional fuels and so offer the best environmental alternative.
Cleaner
Air quality, particular in urban areas, is a continuing issuefor the nation's health.
In 2004 Department of Health statistics show that particulates are responsible for thousands of advanced deaths and thousands of instances of illness. NOx emissions are also a major element of low level ozone, which causes smog and can worsen existing asthma conditions.
Extensive independent tests showed that:
- One diesel vehicle emits 120 times the amount of fine particles as the equivalent LPG vehicle.
- It takes 20 LPG vehicles to emit the same amount of NOx as one diesel vehicle.
Greener
Reduce your carbon footprint by running on LPG.
At the Tailpipe
- LPG cars have 11% CO2 benefit
Research carried out in 2013 by Atlantic Consulting compared results for 1251 models of bi-fuel vehicles and concluded that there was an average 11% CO2 tailpipe benefit when running on LPG compared to the identical car running on petrol.
Well to Wheel – the figure calculated for LPG is considerably lower than other fuels:
- Diesel is 29.2% higher than LPG
- Petrol is 26.8% higher than LPG.
The above figures are sourced from the European Fuel Quality Directive which places LPG as part of the solution to decarbonising the transport sector in Europe.
All fuel types are given a greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity figure. This figure is calculated on a life-cycle basis, meaning that the emissions from the extraction, processing and distribution of fuels are included. The EU has set a target to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of fuels.
