| Simple-Fill | Natural gas is primarily used in the United States to heat our homes and businesses as well as to generate electricity. However, natural gas can also be used to fuel automobiles and trucks. And the price is right: approximately $2.00 per gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE).So why haven't Americans adopted natural gas? In a word: Compression.Natural gas needs to be compressed so it can provide the appropriate range for our vehicles (250-300 miles). Today, natural gas is compressed using large, expensive and noisy compressors that cost millions of dollars. Who wants to install a $1 million natural gas compressor when no one is driving natural gas cars? It is a chicken and egg question. | $420K | Seed | Dec 13, 2016 |  |
