LPG AutoGas vs CNG: Which One is Best For Personal Vehicles?
Ever ask yourself, what difference is there to convert cars that run on gasoline/diesel to either CNG or LPG? As in same as gas-powered generators.
CNG is an abbreviation of “Compressed Natural Gas”. Whereas, LPG is an abbreviation of “Liquefied Petroleum Gas”. The primary difference between CNG and LPG lies in the components that make up these fuels. While CNG is primarily made up of Methane, LPG is primarily made up of propane. The idea of CNG/LPG conversion came to the minds of Nigerians after the removal of the fuel subsidy. Powering vehicles with alternative fuels, like LPG or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), is cheaper, offering potential long-term cost savings. These two are alternative fuels powers vehicles with low emissions and lower fuel costs than gasoline or diesel. The fuels are cleaner and do not contaminate the air like petrol and diesel, and will later be more abundant and domestically sourced.
CNG means Compresses Natural Gas. Basically a natural gas subjected to a very high pressure for ease of transportation. Its usually compressed to 1% of its initial volume at Atmospheric Pressure. Meaning 100scuf can be compressed to 1scuf. CNG is for factories or demands with no access to pipeline networks because they are transported by CNG tubes which are highly inflammable. The higher the distance the higher the rate.
You don’t need to purchase new vehicles, but rather you can just cut your costs by switching to clean, affordable ones that can power your vehicle.
