Alternative fuel systems in municipality and the use of natural gas in transportation

Due to running out of oil reserves day by day, inevitability of the state leaders being dragged into a stalemate in the supply of oil in the coming years, moreover negative impact and destructive characteristics of fossil fuels on the environment have led many countries and organizations into the quest for alternative energy sources. After energy shortage in 1970, natural gas has been mentioned by many countries and become an alternative energy resource. In terms of vast reserves and supply, and being more adventageous in cost due to such reasons more than fossil fuels, being clean and effective increased the use of natural gas significantly. The use of natural gas as an alternative fuel in the vehicles also improved over time and it has started to find a significant place in practice. In this study, alternative fuel systems in municipalities and the use of natural gas in transportation will be analyzed. In this perspective, the importance of the use of natural gas in service vehicles in the municipality parks will be emphasized both in terms of emission and cost. Legal framework on environmental pollution and public transportation of the municipalities will be provided. CNG use by the municipalities with regard to transportation and environmental responsibilities of the municipalities, also advanteges and disadvantages of CNG use with regard to environmental pollution will be analyzed. Price comparison with other fuels will be provided and best practices in the CNG use in public transportation will be analyzed.
