Benefits
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is considered as the safest and greenest fuel. There are many benefits of using CNG.
Environmental Benefits
- CNG does not have impurities, Sulphur (S) or Lead (Pb)
- It has very low levels of polluting gaseous emissions
- It’s molecular structure compactness prevents the reactive processes which lead to the formation of Ozone (O3) in the troposphere.
Safety Benefits
- CNG is lighter than air and hence disperses quickly without any dangerous accumulation
- CNG is unlikely to auto-ignite on hot surfaces, due to high auto-ignition temperature (540 °C)
- It has narrow range of flammability (5%-15%), it means that if CNG concentration in the air is below 5% or above 15%, it will not burn.
Economical Benefits
- CNG is "pocket” friendly gas. It is cheaper to any conventional fuel
- CNG enhances the mileage of vehicle
Technical Benefits
- CNG allows greater performance compared to petrol because of very high antiknock power (more than 120 ON)
- It has no evaporation leaks and spills of fuel, both during refueling and feeding of the car.
- Its combustion produces a very low quantity of carbon deposits (permits a longer life of lubricant oil, spark plug, piston drum, valves & other components)
