Technical Report · Mon Aug 01 04:00:00 EDT 1983

OSTI ID:6950398

The three-volume report details an investigation into the technical and economic feasibility and market potential of gaseous-fuel use in New York State highway fleet vehicles. The conversion of gasoline-fueled vehicles to the alternative fuels - compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, propane and liquefied petroleum gases - was assessed based on various issues and problems: the state of the art of gas-fueled vehicles and refueling equipment; the economics of conversion; current research activities; future specific research and development needs; and public actions that could further conversion in the state. Benefits of conversion include reduced dependence on gasoline and diesel fuel, reduced air pollution, and development of indigenous New York State sources of these alternative fuels.
