The state of the art of vehicular applications of 
solid sorbents for storage of natural gas is analyzed. Experimental 
data on methane sorption by activated carbon fiber at temperatures 
from  -40 to +40oC and pressures 
up to 4 MPa are reported. Owing to the sorbent application the gas 
cylinder used provides a decrease in the working pressure and an increase 
in the volume density of storage as compared to systems based on compressed 
natural gas.
