Cars that run on Methane rather than Petrol or Diesel
Would you rather spend less money on fuel and more on living the dream? Hi, I’m Sam and I am writing to persuade the future producers of car engines to try Methane engines.
What is Methane? Methane is a liquefied natural gas that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport. Liquefied natural gas takes up about 1/600th of the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state. It is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive.
First main point: We can save on oil.
All we do is collect pig manure from pig farm and make it, swap petrol for Methane in the fuel stations. We could save petrol as a back up in case something went wrong.
Main point two: Spend less money on fuel.
Methane could be cheaper than petrol because it’s only pig dung really and petrol is oil that has been tinkered with until it’s petrol or diesel. Diesel is more oily than petrol.
Next main point three: Less polution than petrol
For now it would be good but for long term it would be similar to petrol. In the future we could change again to hydrogen fuel cell which is another story. We could try it in the mean time.
Overall, Methane is similar to petrol the good thing is we can make 600 times more Methane than petrol because Methane is a liqufied natural gas. Thank you.
