  2. Compressed natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas

    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.

  3. CNG carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNG_carrier

    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 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_fuel

    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 ...

  5. Natural gas vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas_vehicle

    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.

  6. Bivalent (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bivalent_(engine)

    Compressed natural gas (CNG) is made by compressing methane to store it at high pressures. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is made and stored cryogenically, much like liquid hydrogen. The physical properties of natural gas require the compression ratio of the engine to be higher than in normal internal combustion engines, and the higher compression ...

  7. Gas carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_carrier

    Compressed natural gas (CNG) carrier ships are designed for transportation of natural gas under high pressure. [7] CNG carrier technology relies on high pressure, typically over 250 bar (2900 psi), to increase the density of the gas and maximize the possible commercial payload.

    By forging a broad and nonpartisan agreement on the facts, figures and trends related to mobility, the Economic Mobility Project seeks to focus public attention on this critically important issue and generate an active policy debate about how best to ensure that the

  9. Gasoline gallon equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_gallon_equivalent

    One GGE of natural gas is 126.67 cubic feet (3.587 m 3) at standard conditions. This volume of natural gas has the same energy content as one US gallon of gasoline (based on lower heating values : 900 BTU/cu ft (9.3 kWh/m 3 ) of natural gas and 114,000 BTU/US gal (8.8 kWh/L) for gasoline).
