As air pollution and global warming become a priority in sustainable mobility, the evolution of vehicles is facing many regulations that are becoming increasingly stringent in terms of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, forcing the automotive industry to search for solutions to make their products more environmentally friendly. In this environmental and legislative context, considerable attention has been given to natural gas (NG) in spark ignition (SI) engines. Many studies have been conducted to assess the impacts of NG use on engine operation.This overview paper discusses some aspects of recent studies on Natural Gas(NG)production, its physico-chemical properties, and also, on the influence of the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) in SI engines: combustion characteristics, performance, and emissions.
