    5. Conclusion

    • Both an abundant energy resource and a transportation fuel, natural gas offers physico-chemical characteristics that make it a fuel with very high potential for energy diversification and the reduction of CO 2 emissions.

    • Variations in fuel composition are a challenge to overcome in vehicle applications. Although the available control systems are sufficiently robust to overcome these variations (albeit to a limited extent), they nevertheless have a direct influence on the amount of energy stored on board the vehicle, and hence its range. The use of LNG offers interesting prospects.

    • The strong emergence of shale gas, the need to diversify transport fuels and the normative constraints in terms of pollutant...
