The Clean Vehicle Education Foundation (CVEF) reports that CSA America has now decided to separate the hydrogen and CNG standards, despite earlier agreeing with industry requests to cover both CNG and compressed hydrogen in a single update to ANSI/CSA NGV2 (Basic Requirements for Compressed Natural Gas Vehicle Fuel Containers).
This is to be consistent with the path of the other hydrogen vehicle standards and to appropriately address concerns related directly to hydrogen, specifically:
- Trying to keep the CNG and Hydrogen coverage in the same document is becoming too administratively complicated
- CSA America believes the coverage in the documents will be different enough that they need to be separate documents.
- CSA does not want to hold up revisions on the CNG side
