Why Natural Gas

Natural Gas is a superior fuel as compared with coal and other liquid fuels being an environment friendly, safer and cheaper fuel.

Piped Natural Gas (PNG) is supplied through pipelines just like we get water from the tap. There is no need to store cylinders in the kitchen / Industry Premises and thus saves space.

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is basically methane gas stored at high pressure. CNG is a fuel which can be used in place of other fuels viz. gasoline (Petrol), diesel fuel and LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas). Combustion of CNG produces fewer undesirable gases than other fuels mentioned. Also CNG is safer than other fuels in the event of a leakage, because natural gas is lighter than air and disperses quickly when released.
