FAQ
Compressed natural gas or CNG is simply natural gas mainly comprised of methane that is stored under high pressures (while remaining in its gaseous form), mainly as a means to transport it, or as storage for later use as vehicle fuel.
The natural gas pressure of the gas line leading to the home ranges from approximately 1/4 psi to 60 psi, depending on the number of homes or businesses served by the line. This compares to pressures of up to 1,500 psi for large-volume pipelines used to move the gas from the well fields to the local utilities.
LNG is generally stored in large-volume above-ground low-pressure (less than 5 pounds per square inch gauge) tanks.
Natural gas is usually stored underground, in large storage reservoirs. There are three main types of underground storage: depleted gas reservoirs, aquifers, and salt caverns.LNG allows natural gas to be shipped and stored in liquid form, meaning it takes up much less space than gaseous natural gas.
