PRONUNCIATION OF CNG

CNG


WHAT DOES CNG MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Compressed natural gas

Compressed natural gas can be used in place of gasoline, Diesel fuel and propane/LPG. CNG combustion produces fewer undesirable gases than the fuels mentioned above. It is safer than other fuels in the event of a spill, because natural gas is lighter than air and disperses quickly when released. CNG may be found above oil deposits, or may be collected from landfills or wastewater treatment plants where it is known as biogas. CNG is made by compressing natural gas, to less than 1 percent of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure. It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of 20–25 MPa, usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes. CNG is used in traditional gasoline/internal combustion engine automobiles that have been modified or in vehicles which were manufactured for CNG use, either alone, with a segregated gasoline system to extend range or in conjunction with another fuel such as diesel. Natural gas vehicles are increasingly used in Iran, the Asia-Pacific region, and other large cities like Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai—as well as cities such as Lucknow, Kanpur, etc.
