Choosing GM's bi-fuel option sends the HD pickups with the 6.0L gasoline engine to IMPCO in Indiana to upfit the vehicle to run on CNG.
Power-to-gas (often abbreviated P2G) is a technology that uses electric power to produce a gaseous fuel. [1]Most P2G systems use electrolysis to produce hydrogen.The hydrogen can be used directly, [2] or further steps (known as two-stage P2G systems) may convert the hydrogen into syngas, methane, [3] or LPG.

The main product of the Fischer–Tropsch process, synthetic crude oil, requires additional refining to produce fuel products such as diesel fuel or gasoline. This refining typically adds additional costs, causing some industry leaders to label the economics of commercial-scale Fischer–Tropsch processes as challenging.
