What is difference between LNG and CNG?
LNG is frozen in order to turn it into liquid form, whereas CNG is pressurized to the point where it is very compact. LNG takes up less storage space on a vehicle than CNG, and it also offers an energy density that can be compared to diesel fuel. CNG also has lower production costs than LNG.
What is difference CNG and LPG?
CNG is a gas and remains a gas under pressure(compression) whereas LPG is a gas at normal temperature and pressure but changes to liquid form under high pressure. So, both CNG and LPG have to be packed in strong containers. CNG is used as a clean fuel substituting gasoline.
