Comparison of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD) in Automotive Industry

In the last decade, the importance of environment conservation has assumed great significance. People and institutions alike have been battling it out for a cleaner, greener, world. The strict application of the Euro norms and the drive for switchover to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as an alternative fuel are some of the examples of the endeavors made by the denizens of the capital towards creating a greater eco-friendly environment. there are other fuel options that are as good in terms of emissions and ecology and better in terms of feasibility and economics. One such fuel is Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD). While some tests have shown that ULSD, when used with complementing engines, gives lesser emissions than CNG, others have shown just the opposite. The conclusion is that both are comparable fuels in terms of emission merit. In this paper, we compared CNG and ULSD
