Abstract


As the automotive industry perceived negative effects of road transportation to the environment, it has intensively worked on new technological solutions during several decades, with the goal of reducing the negative effect of vehicles to the environment. That is why priorities of contemporary and future development of vehicles, engines and accompanying equipment are the following: reduction of fuel consumption and reduction of emission of exhaust gases. One of the ways to solve current tasks of the automotive industry is the use of alternative fuels, that is, alternative energy potentials. This paper analyzes natural gas as alternative fuel for motor vehicles. After description of basic physical and chemical properties and the analysis of use of natural gas as a fuel for ICE, this paper presents reduction of motor vehicles emission by using natural gas as a fuel.
