Somebody explain to me why natural gas never took off as a means to power our national automobile consumption?
Largely the same reason as hydrogen - energy density. Natural gas is fantastic if you are pulling it directly out of a pipeline, where storage volume isn’t really a concern. It’s less fantastic if you need to put it in a portable tank to power a vehicle.
LNG has a higher energy density than hydrogen but still lower than gasoline, with the added complication of needing to keep it at -160 degrees C.
