What is CNG, the Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Energy Source?
Natural gas is a fossil-derived, colorless, odorless, and lighter-than-air flammable gas. Its primary components include methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), butane (C4H10), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), helium (He), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). It does not form ash or sulfur compounds when burned, thus preventing acid rain. Thanks to its clean structure, it is now used as a strategic energy source in many areas, from residences and workplaces to public institutions and schools, healthcare facilities, factories, and accommodation facilities.
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is produced by compressing natural gas from urban natural gas distribution networks or the national pipeline system at a pressure of approximately 200 bar. CNG stands out as an odorless, colorless, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly fuel alternative.
In areas where pipelines cannot reach, CNG transportation is essential. Specially manufactured high-pressure cylinders deliver clean, reliable, and efficient energy to businesses and residential areas. This makes CNG a sustainable energy solution that is both environmentally friendly and economical.
Advantages of CNG
CNG is a clean, safe, and efficient fuel solution. It creates no additional costs, avoids waste, and provides businesses with an economic advantage thanks to its high efficiency.
01
Fuel Loss is Zero
Fuel oil tankers can experience fuel losses of 2–3%. CNG, on the other hand, delivers with full efficiency and causes no losses.
03
High Efficiency
CNG offers operational efficiency advantages of up to 9%, particularly at peak draws (over 1,000 cubic meters per hour). While full-capacity production is possible with CNG in large-capacity plants, production capacity may be lower with other fuels.
02
Safe Delivery, Protected from Abuse
Fuel oil delivery can be subject to abuse due to the addition of additives (wax, marble dust, etc.) that alter its density. CNG delivery, on the other hand, is carried out in completely enclosed and secure systems, preventing misuse.
04
No Additional Cost
-
Unlike fuel oil systems, CNG systems lack pipeline insulation and high maintenance costs. CNG offers an economical and sustainable solution.
