Colorado State received one of 13 grants from the Department of Energy for entities that are researching the use of natural gas to power vehicles.

According to the ARPA-E project selections, CSU’s project will “develop a vehicle-based natural gas refueling system that will use the vehicle engine itself to compress natural gas.”

Texas A&M University was the only other academic institution to receive one of the grants.
