The U.S. Dept. of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) has awarded $30 million to 13 projects to advance natural gas vehicle technologies in its new program titled Methane Opportunities for Vehicular Energy (MOVE). MOVE projects aim to engineer lightweight, affordable natural gas tanks for vehicles as well as to develop natural gas compressors that can efficiently fuel a natural gas vehicle at home.
