The truck, powered by compressed natural gas, was operated by Groot Waste Management, police said, adding the company sent clean-up crew and equipment to the scene, who "removed residual content ...
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a fuel gas mainly composed of methane (CH 4), compressed to less than 1% of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure.It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of 20–25 megapascals (2,900–3,600 psi; 200–250 atm), usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes.
Earlier this year, nine L.A. city firefighters were injured when a tank of compressed natural gas exploded while they were working to extinguish a semitruck fire.
They recently launched the world’s first vehicle powered by bio-compressed natural gas. The innovative fuel source created at the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Barbados also uses ...
Compressed natural gas (CNG) carrier ships are those designed for transportation of natural gas under high pressure. [1] CNG carrier technology relies on high pressure, typically over 250 bar (2900 psi ), to increase the density of the gas, but it is still 2.4 times less than that of LNG (426 kg/m 3 ). [ 2 ]
Because natural gas emits less smog-forming pollutants than other fossil fuels when combusted, cleaner air has been measured in urban localities switching to natural gas vehicles. [64] Tailpipe CO 2 can be reduced by 15–25% compared to gasoline, diesel. [65] The greatest reductions occur in medium and heavy duty, light duty and refuse truck ...
Natural gas prices are on track to close out the year in negative territory. But there's optimism for 2025, largely because of exports overseas and more demand stemming from artificial intelligence.
Methane, the main component of natural gas, has an autoignition temperature of 580 °C, [47] whereas gasoline and diesel autoignite at approximately 250 °C and 210 °C respectively. With a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine, the mixing of the fuel and the air is more effective since gases typically mix well in a short period of time.
