LOGISTICS OF LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS APPLICATION IN MOBILE SYSTEMS

Abstract

Natural gas is a high-quality fuel for propulsion systems. Available reserves equal the known oil reserves; negative influence upon environment is less than with fuels derived from oil, as well as the price. Due to that, natural gas as a fuel has been having a growing application in mobile systems. In countries like the Republic of Serbia in particular (with a large river port, a big international airport, many tourist centers and the transportation of goods by trucks due to the connection with international companies, etc.), the demand for alternative fuels which are suitable for long distance applications is expected to remain high. In the paper, it systematized the possibilities for the application of liquefied natural gas in mobile systems for transportation for longer distances.
