UTA Electric Bus on University of Utah Campus

An experimental all electric bus operated by the Utah Transit Authority on the University of Utah college campus.

An electric bus is a type of bus powered entirely by electricity, typically using batteries, rather than fossil fuels like diesel or natural gas. Electric buses are a sustainable alternative for public transportation systems, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

An LNG station (Liquefied Natural Gas station) is a facility that stores, distributes, and provides liquefied natural gas (LNG) for use as fuel for vehicles, such as trucks or buses. LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, reducing its volume and making it easier to store and transport.

These stations are part of the growing infrastructure supporting LNG as a cleaner alternative to traditional fuels, especially in heavy-duty transportation, where LNG is used in trucks, ships, and industrial machinery. LNG is considered an environmentally friendly fuel option because it produces lower levels of CO2, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur emissions compared to diesel or gasoline.

These stations are often located near highways, ports, or industrial areas to support fleets of vehicles that use LNG.

A CNG station (Compressed Natural Gas station) is a facility where compressed natural gas (CNG) is stored, distributed, and dispensed to vehicles that run on CNG. CNG is natural gas that has been compressed to a high pressure (typically around 3,000–3,600 psi) to reduce its volume, making it suitable for use in vehicles as an alternative to gasoline or diesel.

CNG is considered a cleaner fuel compared to gasoline and diesel, producing lower levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter.

CNG stations are often located in urban areas, near highways, or in industrial regions, providing accessible refueling points for vehicles running on compressed natural gas.
