WHAT IS CARBON INTENSITY?

The carbon intensity (CI) of an energy source includes the total emitted greenhouse

gases associated with its production and use and is measured as a ratio of

the equivalent amount of CO2 emitted to the amount of energy it contains.

Less CO2 Produced

Greener Fuel

Today, motor fuels include gasoline, ethanol, diesel, biodiesel and renewable diesel,

and natural gas. But renewable natural gas, which is composed primarily of methane,

is one of only a few carbon negative fuels – it removes more greenhouse gases from

the atmosphere than it creates!
