| Abstract | ||
| This study aims to clarify the effect of the use of natural gas in the car as a fuel alternative to traditional energy, so as to achieve real economic development, human-centered and around and achieve sustainable development objectives, lies the importance of research to find out the size of the environmental and economic returns resulting from the conversion process, where we find that there are economic differences resulting from the use of natural gas in the automotive alternative for both gasoline and diesel fuel in terms of the size of the support, exports and imports, production and also environmental impacts resulting from the gasoline and diesel fuel and the consequent increase in the volume of pollutants and their impact on both the environment in general and man in particular, so I was relying on this the study on the use of natural gas because it is considered as the most important kind of Fossil fuels and one of the alternative resources of power instead of the oil and it is one of the fuels with high efficiency low cost and low polluting emissions and it is an important resource for the power in chemical industries as it has many environmental and economic advantages, We find that the international production rates of natural Gas in the period between 2005 and 2015 were with annual rates which surpass the annual increase in the rates of crude oil production and they are more stable and consistent from a year to another year where we find that the production of the natural gas were increased with rate 13.2 % in the twenty-first century in comparison with the crude oil production which was increased about 5.42 % . By comparing the annual increase in the international rate of the natural gas consumption and the crude oil in the same period we found that the international consumption is being increased annually with rates which are higher than the rates of the crude oil consumption where the consumption of the natural gas is increased in the twenty-first century with rate 12.5 % in comparison with the international consumption for the crude oil which is increased to 5.9 % . the residuals of the natural gas was increased to be about 52.7% more in the twenty-first century than the twenties century which was increased to be about 47 % , we notice that, in Egypt, the reserves of the natural gas was increased from 18.19 trillion cubic feet in 2005 to around 77.99 trillion cubic feet in 2015 which made its share of the fossil fuels reserves is more than 50 % from the country reserves of the fossil fuel and we find that the fuel consumes 65 % the support budget of the country share in 2005 till 2015. The use of the natural gas as an alternative fuel in cars will decrease the support budget of the country to about 88.5 billion pounds with a portion about 9.5 % and reduces the state imports of petrol with about 32.5 billion pounds and the increase of the state exports of petrol with about 256.9 billion pounds. in addition to the environmental outcomes behind its use where the portion of the Carbon Dioxide becomes less by the use of the natural gas instead of the petrol and diesel and carbon dioxide contributes in changing the international climate because of the phenomenon of the global warming and we find that the natural gas did not contain sulfur , lead, particles , or the heavy metals in comparison with petrol and it is a non-toxic gas and did not pollute the water at all; and this is the reason behind that there are no environmental hazards in the case of the its leak, on the contrary to the crude oil which results in a great harm effects on the environment by the oil leak. The researcher depends on deductive approach is primarily based on the development of information directly from the references and research and previous studies as well as scientific journals and periodicals on the subject and The researcher depends on observation as a tool for collecting data next to interview those involved in the study and in the framework of the study population, which is petroleum sector, as represented by a total of of the oil companies in Egypt . The researcher found that "there are significant differences between the environmental and economic impacts arising from the gasoline and natural gas consumption as a fuel for cars, as the researcher recommends that there must be the removal of subsidies on fuel with the relative stability of prices for gas than a boom in sales prices squads for the consumer and thus will encourage the consumer happens Ali car conversion to natural gas, are also reduced the cost of converting cars to natural gas, which encourages car owners to the idea of conversion. | ||
