LNG vs. CNG: Choosing the Right Fuel

Which energy solution is right for a large industrial facility?

LNG gas drops icon

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

The High-Volume Solution

Energy Density

Volume is reduced by 600x. One truck carries the energy of 2.4 CNG trucks.

Purity & Efficiency
Methane:>95%

High purity leads to a consistent BTU value and a clean, efficient blue flame.

Best for

Large-scale industrial operations with high, continuous energy demand in remote locations (e.g., power plants, mining sites).

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)

The Accessible Solution

Energy Density

Volume is reduced by ~250x. Requires 2.4 trucks for the same energy as one LNG truck.

Purity & Efficiency
Methane:>85%

Lower purity means less predictable energy and a less efficient orange/yellow flame.

Best for

Smaller-scale operations with lower energy needs, like vehicle fueling stations or smaller industrial sites.

The right virtual pipeline solution depends on the scale of your energy needs.
