Benefit of CNG
How is natural gas produced?
Most natural gas comes from three types of wells: natural gas-and-condensate wells, oil wells, and coal bed methane wells. Well-extracted natural gas requires a cleanup process before it can be used in vehicles or residences.
Where does natural gas come from?
More than 99 percent of the natural gas used in the Indonesia comes from domestic sources. However, increasing demand for natural gas in power plants will require new supplies, increasing our dependence on foreign sources of energy.
How is natural gas stored?
In smaller fueling locations and on vehicles, CNG is stored in thick-walled steel, aluminum, or composite tanks built to last over 20 years.
Is natural gas flammable?
When released, compressed natural gas will mix with air and become flammable only when the mixture is within 5 to 15 percent natural gas. When the mixture is less than 5 percent natural gas, it doesn?t burn. When the mixture is more than 15 percent natural gas, there is not enough oxygen to allow it to burn. Because natural gas is lighter then air, it quickly dissipates when released from tanks.
What are the benefits of using natural gas in transportation?
Natural gas is produced both worldwide and domestically at relatively low cost and is cleaner burning than gasoline or diesel fuel. Natural gas vehicles show an average reduction in ozone-forming emissions of 80 percent compared to gasoline vehicles.
What vehicles use natural gas?
CNG vehicles have been introduced in a wide variety of commercial applications, from light-duty trucks and sedans -like taxi cabs, to heavy-duty vehicles like transit buses, street sweepers and school buses. In Indonesia, buses are some of the most visible CNG vehicles.
