Natural Gas

• Natural gas is one of the cleanest and safest forms of energy.
• It is 90 percent methane, and does not contain the harmful compounds found in other fossil fuels.
• Compressed natural gas (CNG) is in a pressurised gaseous state. liquenfied natural gas (LNG) is in liquid from cooled to -161 degrees celsius.
• CNG is not toxic and disperses quickly; LNG spills on water require no cleanups.
• Using natural gas reduces smog; vehicle emissions are lower because ignition temperatures are higher, thereby making combustion more effecient.
