Compressed Natural Gas
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is created through the process of purifying and then pressurizing natural gas to approximately 3,600 pounds per square inch. CNG can be stored on-board a vehicle in large cylinders and can be utilized in both dedicated fuel and bi-fuel (gasoline/CNG) vehicles. CNG is used as a fuel in vehicles ranging in size from passenger cars to municipal buses.
CNG tends to be a less corrosive fuel and, therefore, reduces maintenance costs and increases the lifespan of an engine. The advantages of natural gas as an alternative fuel include its domestic availability, established distribution network, relatively low cost, and emissions benefits.
Two forms of natural gas are currently used in vehicles: compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). LNG is natural gas in its liquid form. Learn more about how compressed natural gas vehicles may benefit your fleet.
