Natural gas (methane) that has been compressed to a higher pressure gaseous state by a compressor; used in CNG vehicles.
CNG for short. A type of compressed gas used as fuel for stoves and heaters and as an alternative fuel for motor vehicles. CNG is considered safer than other types of fuel such as propane (LPG) because it is lighter than air and may rise into the sky in the event of a leak. It is also considered one of cleanest because of low hydrocarbon emissions and its vapors are relatively non-ozone producing. However, it does emit a significant quantity of nitrogen oxides.
CNG for short. A type of compressed gas used as fuel for stoves and heaters. CNG is stored in metal cylinders prior to use. CNG is considered safer than other types of fuel such as propane (LPG) because it is lighter than air and may rise into the sky in the event of a leak. Caution should still be used as CNG can collect near the cabin ceiling, potentially causing an explosion. Propane is available in more areas around the world than CNG so CNG is not often used outside of North America.
natural gas that is stored in cylinders at pressures of 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per square inch in order to fuel a vehicle. It is a cleaner alternative to diesel fuel, helping to keep our air cleaner. Waste Management has the largest fleet of 100 percent natural gas trucks in the solid waste industry, with the heaviest concentration of natural gas trucks operating at Waste Management of Southern California.
natural gas compressed for storage, particularly onboard a vehicle, at pressures of 3,000 or 3,600 psi.
Natural gas which is comprised primarily of methane, compressed to a pressure at or above 2,400 pounds per square inch and stored in special high-pressure containers. It is used as a fuel for natural gas-powered vehicles. CNG vapor is ligher than air.
Natural gas that has been compressed under high pressures, typically between 2000 and 3600 psi, held in a container. The gas expands when released for use as a fuel.
Natural gas compressed to a volume and density that is practical as a portable fuel supply.
CNG Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons such as methane and is produced either from gas wells or in conjunction with crude oil production. Because of the gaseous nature of this fuel, it must be stored onboard a vehicle in either a compressed gaseous state (CNG) or in a liquefied state (LNG).
An alternative fuel for motor vehicles; considered one of the cleanest because of low hydrocarbon emissions and its vapors are relatively non-ozone producing. However, vehicles fueled with CNG do emit a significant quantity of nitrogen oxides.
Natural gas that has been highly compressed and is stored in high-pressure surface containers. CNG is used as a transportation fuel for automobiles, trucks and busses.
Natural Gas, stored under pressure, that is used as an alternative fuel. Some auto manufacturers are offering this as an option to conventional gasoline with the advantage that compressed natural gas offers lower emissions.
Natural gas that has been condensed under high pressures, typically between 2,000 and 3,600 pounds per square inch, held in a container. The gas expands when released for use as a fuel.
An alternative fuel; compressed natural gas stored under high pressure. CNG vapor is lighter than air.
natural gas compressed to a volume and density that can be used as a portable fuel supply.
CNG: Natural gas compressed into high-pressure cylinders and used as an environmentally friendly fuel.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a substitute for gasoline (petrol) or diesel fuel. It is considered to be an environmentally "clean" alternative to those fuels. It is made by compressing methane (CH4) extracted from natural gas.
