The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has selected
nine projects as part of a multimillion-dollar effort funded jointly by the U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE), the California Energy Commission (CEC), and the Southcoast Air Quality
Management District (AQMD) to advance the state of technology for natural gas vehicles
(NGVs).
The selected projects will focus on reducing the total cost of ownership of NGVs,
increasing vehicle efficiency, decreasing local air pollution, and advancing technology
development to increase the use of more affordable medium- and heavy-duty natural
gas engines and vehicles.
“Leveraging the technical expertise of industry partners can have a powerful impact
on transportation technologies,” said Johney Green, associate lab director for Mechanical
and Thermal Engineering Sciences at NREL. “Innovation that can change the paradigm
for energy use in transportation is going to come by bringing together researchers
from several areas. We are looking forward to partnering with these researchers to
develop breakthrough NGV technology.”
