Conditions for safe application of liquified natural gas in heavy-duty garbage trucks

Abstract

When using alternative fuels in mobile systems, it is important to know that truck transport and shipping, as examples of transport modes, require a higher fuel energy density in the reservoirs. The physical and chemical properties of liquefied natural gas as an alternative fuel present some advantages (higher energy density, range of flammability, etc.). This paper systematizes the possibilities for the application of liquefied natural gas in mobile systems for transportation for longer distances.
