Reduction of CO Emission in Malaysia Transport Industry: Using Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as Alternative Fuel

Abstract

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel has long been used in the Malaysia transport industry due to its numerous advantageous properties. CNG fuel engine considered a low carbon dioxide (CO ) emission producer presents itself 2 a viable alternative to gasoline/ diesel fuel engines. From the literature, it is found that the transport industry contributes 45% of CO emission to the environment. Therefore, this study presents the investigation of CO emission 2 2 in the Malaysia transport industry by using CNG as an alternative fuel. Data has been collected from the previous research, experimental resolution and field survey which has been used for verifying and validating the possible outcomes of CNG engine performance on CO reduction as well as the impact of constant increase of vehicles using 2 CNG. In this study an elevated performance implementation has been achieved in other gases but the target was on CO emissions at its minimal stage, noting the risk involve as well as encouraging the total acceptability of the CNG 2 fuel in the Malaysia society. It is therefore proposed that any adjustment or improvement result in CO emissions 2 reduction will save the world environmental climate change.
