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 bar), usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes.
CNG can be stored at lower pressure in a form known as an ANG (Adsorbed Natural Gas) tank at 35 bar (500 psi, the pressure of gas in natural gas pipelines) in various sponge-like materials, such as activated carbon [60] and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). [61] The fuel is stored at similar or greater energy density than CNG.
Substitute natural gas (SNG), or synthetic natural gas, is a fuel gas (predominantly methane, CH 4) that can be produced from fossil fuels such as lignite coal, oil shale, or from biofuels (when it is named bio-SNG) or using electricity with power-to-gas systems.
CNG-specific engines, however, use a higher compression ratio due to this fuel's higher octane number of 120–130. [92] Besides use in road vehicles, CNG can also be used in aircraft. [93] Compressed natural gas has been used in some aircraft like the Aviat Aircraft Husky 200 CNG [94] and the Chromarat VX-1 KittyHawk [95] LNG is also being ...
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 ]
CNG vehicles can use both renewable CNG and non-renewable CNG. [61] Conventional CNG is a fossil fuel. New technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to economically access unconventional gas resources, appear to have increased the supply of natural gas in a fundamental way.

According to the SSA, for those born in 1960 or later, the current full retirement age (FRA) is 67 years old. You can claim your benefits as early as age 62; however, you’ll receive only 70% of ...
