Title: Variability of natural gas composition in select major metropolitan areas of the United States. Interim report, August 1990-March 1991

Abstract

The interim report quantifies potential regional and seasonal variations in the composition and physical properties of natural gas in selected major urban areas of the United States over a one-year time period. Major urban areas were chosen because they represent a large segment of existing gas consumers and are envisioned to be a key market area for natural gas vehicles. The report lists the results of statistical analyses of gas composition in ten U.S. nonattainment cities for either ozone or carbon monoxide levels. The data are intended to provide a strong statistical basis for understanding the chemical and physical properties of natural gas in support of engine and vehicle manufacturers making equipment design and development decisions as well as related R D initiatives on gas-fired reciprocating engine technology and vehicle refueling and storage. Additional program work is underway to expand the data base to represent a total of 25 major urban areas.
