The cleanest fossil fuel available today is natural gas. You use it in your home to heat, to cook and to dry your clothes. You can use it in your vehicle too. We call them NGVs (Natural Gas Vehicles).

Environmental Benefits

The transportation industry is responsible for approximately 27 per cent of the green house gas (GHG) emitted into the atmosphere. Using natural gas in vehicles reduces GHG by up to 27 per cent.

In addition, many Canadians live in areas that have unhealthy ground-level air contaminants. Vehicles powered by natural gas reduce unhealthy air contaminants and smog related emissions. The chart below represents those reductions.

On-Road Vehicles

Natural Gas Vehicles are convenient, clean, safe and can potentially cut your fuel bill in half. The industry is more than 30 years old and is well over a million natural gas vehicles are operating around the world. NGVs can operate on either natural gas or gasoline. Refueling is fast and easy, taking only a few minutes to fill. ATCO Gas has 12 public locations  in Alberta to serve you.

Ice Resurfacers

Over 150 ice arenas across Alberta operate natural gas powered ice resurfacers.

Improved Indoor Air Quality:

  • A significant reduction in carbon monoxide, provides a healthier environment for both athletes and spectators.
  • Odour from propane fumes is eliminated.

Safe & Proven:

  • Natural gas is lighter than air, dissipates rapidly and is harder to ignite than conventional fuels.
  • Since natural gas cylinders are permanently mounted on your ice resurfacer, there is no need to lift or change heavy propane cylinders which can lead to back injuries.

Convenient:

  • No need to order, stock or store propane cylinders. Simply refuel anytime.

Purchase from the factory:

  • It takes only two minutes to fill a forklift with an on-site fast-fill refuelling station.
  • On-site refuelling is simple to operate and does not require operator certification.
  • The refuelling system is a closed system, eliminating the danger of evaporative emissions while filling the forklift.
  • Natural gas can be transferred from one forklift to another in the event one runs out of fuel.
  • No need to order, stock or store propane cylinders. Simply refuel anytime.
