Abstract
Natural gas is a leading alternative fuel candidate for transportation applications. The fuel offers economic, strategic and potential environmental advantages over conventional fuels. This paper discusses several issues involved with using natural gas a transportation fuel including fuel compostion, on-board fuel storage, and general emission characteristics. Three demonstration projects including marine and land transportion applications in which the University of Alabama participated are presented.
