What is CNG?

What is CNG?

Natural gas is a colorless, odorless and slightly flammable gas of fossil origin. It consists of various hydrocarbons such as Methane (CH4), Ethane (C2H8), Propane (C3H8), Butane (C4H10), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen (N2), Helium (He) and Hydrogen sulfide (H2S). When burned, it does not form ash and sulfur compounds and does not cause harmful acid rain. Today, it is used as a valuable and strategic energy source in residences, workplaces, official institutions, schools, health institutions, factories and accommodation facilities.

CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is obtained by compressing natural gas supplied from the national pipeline network or urban distribution system under a pressure of approximately 200 bar. CNG is an odorless, colorless and non-toxic gaseous fuel.

Clean, environmentally friendly and efficient natural gas can be delivered in the form of compressed gas (CNG) using specially manufactured cylinders to regions and businesses where natural gas cannot be transmitted through pipelines.

Natural gas is drawn from the pipeline and compressed up to 200 bar pressure at Naturelgaz’s filling plants with special compressors and filled into special tubes placed in CNG stock units (Pallets), and Pallets are transported to customer sites. Thanks to the pressure reducing system installed at the customer’s site, it is offered to use in the range of 2-8 bar and then at the pressures requested by our customers.
