RFID in Harsh Environments: Improving Safety in the Natural Gas Industry With RFID

Published: May 6, 2013

Viridis Technologies, a manufacturer of alternative fuel dispensers based in Toronto and Ohio, is using RFID to facilitate safe fueling for green transportation technologies, including natural gas and hydrogen. Compressed natural gas (CNG) is utilized as a vehicle fuel in more than 75 countries worldwide. With the increased availability of domestically produced natural gas, CNG is seen as a viable, cost-effective substitute for imported liquid fuels. Internationally, Viridis’ RFID-based technology is recognized as a means of reducing the number of fatal accidents due to faulty equipment on vehicles. In the United States, the solution has the capability of ensuring that only EPA-approved systems are installed on board vehicles. Learn how the firm is employing RFID to improve CNG’s reputation as a vehicle fuel, and to promote traceability within the natural gas industry.
