    methane is the component of natural gas right? they alreadly have NGV Civic by Honda.

    I think this is a biogas car as they call it.

    edit: should have watched the vid first. I get it now. What car is that?

    Methane is not part of natural gas but it is a natural gas. if that makes sence. all kinds of wast can create methane form natural decomp.
    Methane digesters are used to make methane in a tank. it dose burn like NG and can replace NG.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel consisting primarily of methane but including significant quantities of ethane, propane, butane, and pentane—heavier hydrocarbons removed prior to use as a consumer fuel —as well as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium and hydrogen sulfide.[1]
