Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
About CNG
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a cleaner alternative to traditional fuels like petrol, diesel, and Auto LPG. It is derived from natural gas and compressed to a pressure of around 200 Kg/cmΒ² before being supplied to vehicles, allowing more fuel to be stored efficiently in cylinders.
Today, almost all auto-rickshaws and taxis are running on CNG. It is also supplied to transport undertakings such as ASTC buses. Apart from this, passenger cars, postal vans, school buses, courier vans, as well as light and heavy commercial vehicles are also benefiting from the use of CNG.
Purba Bharati Gas Private Limited (PGBPL) plays an important role in promoting clean energy by supplying CNG through its infrastructure. The company currently operates 7 CNG stations, including 2 in the Silchar region (Sonaparighat) and 5 in the Guwahati region (Ulubari, Pamuhi, ISBT, and Sonapur), ensuring consistent fuel availability and supporting the shift toward greener and more sustainable transportation.
Conversion to CNG
Standard CNG kits are available for any three- or four-wheeler. Components include storage cylinder, high-pressure regulator, pressure gauge, changeover switch, high-pressure tube/fittings, CNG level indicator, and air-fuel mixer.
Advantages of CNG
- β Cost effective β cheaper than conventional fuels with a short payback period (3-4 years).
- β Longer engine life β non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-carcinogenic fuel that does not affect engine oil.
- β Low pollution β minimal emissions and no unpleasant exhaust smell.
- β High safety β lighter than air, structurally sound cylinders, high ignition temperature, and rigorous safety testing.
Impact on Environment
Transitioning to CNG helps reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Natural gas is a key part of smarter, cleaner energy choices, contributing to a healthier environment for communities worldwide.
