Natural Gas

Natural gas is a clean burning domestic energy source that fuels our economy. It cools and warms our homes and businesses, is used to generate electricity, and helps maintain our quality of life.Natural gas is a clean burning domestic energy source that fuels our economy. It cools and warms our homes and businesses, is used to generate electricity, and helps maintain our quality of life. Natural gas, in itself, might be considered a very uninteresting gas – it is colorless, shapeless, and odorless in its pure form. Quite uninteresting – except that natural gas is combustible, and when burned it gives off a great deal of energy. Unlike other fossil fuels, however, natural gas is clean burning and emits lower levels of potentially harmful byproducts into the air. We require energy constantly, to heat our homes, cook our food, and generate our electricity. It is this need for energy that has elevated natural gas to such a level of importance in our society, and in our lives.

Compressed Natural Gas

CNG is a readily available alternative to gasoline that’s made by compressing natural gas to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure. Consisting mostly of methane, CNG is odorless, colorless and tasteless. It’s drawn from domestically drilled natural gas wells or in conjunction with crude oil production.
