CNG stands for Compressed Natural Gas and is used as an alternate fuel option for automobiles. It is gaseous fuel and is a mixture of hydrocarbons, mainly methane, in the range of 89% to 90%. Due to its low density, it is compressed to a pressure of 200-250 kg/cm² (g) to enhance the vehicle onboard storage capacity.
