Solution

CNG stands for Compressed Natural Gas, and it is considered a better fuel than petrol since it eco-friendly gas and causes no harm to the environment. Also, it produces significantly less amount of smoke.

  • Its primary use is as an alternative for fuel in automobiles.
  • It produces relatively lower quantities of greenhouse gases (in comparison with LPG).
  • The primary component in CNG is methane.
  • It is relatively safe as it disperses rapidly into the air.
  • t extends the life of lubricating oil, as the crankcase oil doesn’t really dilute & contaminate.
  • t is very healthy as it easily scatters into the air.
