CNG & CBG
CNG is a fossil fuel substitute for petrol, diesel, or LPG. It's more environmentally clean and safer than other fuels in case of a spill.
It's been successfully used in transportation for decades, often called "Green Fuel", and is widely used in auto rickshaws, cars, and buses.
For use in vehicles, it's compressed to 200–250 bar to enhance onboard storage.
Benefits of CNG/CBG
- ✓Reduces carbon footprint significantly
- ✓Cost-effective compared to traditional fuels
- ✓Safer than gasoline or diesel
- ✓Extends engine life due to cleaner combustion
What is CNG?
The Green Fuel
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a fossil fuel substitute for petrol, diesel, or LPG. CNG is a more environmentally clean alternative to those fuels, and it is much safer than other fuels in the event of a spill.
CNG has been successfully used as a fuel in our transport system for decades and is popularly termed as "Green Fuel". It's widely used in auto rickshaws, cars, and buses across India.
Technical Specifications
For use in automobiles as fuel, natural gas is compressed to a pressure of 200-250 bar to enhance the vehicle's on-board storage capacity. This compression makes CNG an efficient fuel source for transportation.
Pressure
200-250 bar
State
Gaseous
Color
Colorless
Odor
Odorless (odor added for safety)
Benefits of CNG
Why CNG is the smart choice for vehicles and the environment
Environmental
- •Reduces harmful emissions by 90% compared to petrol
- •No particulate matter emissions
- •Lower carbon monoxide emissions
Economic
- •Costs 40-50% less than petrol/diesel
- •Longer engine life due to cleaner combustion
- •Lower maintenance costs
Safety
- •Lighter than air - dissipates quickly if leaked
- •Higher ignition temperature than petrol
- •Stored in strong, crash-tested cylinders
CNG vs Petrol
| Feature | CNG | Petrol |
|---|---|---|
| Emissions | Reduces harmful emissions | Releases harmful emissions |
| Cost | More affordable | More expensive |
| Environmental Impact | Environment friendly | Creates air pollution |
| Maintenance | Lower maintenance cost | Higher maintenance cost |
| Safety | Safer (dissipates quickly) | Higher flammability risk |
| Availability | Growing network in India | Widely available |
