LPG vs CNG  

The major differences between LPG and CNG are listed in the table below: 

LPG	CNG
LPG is mostly composed of propane and butane.	CNG is mainly composed of methane.
It is significantly heavier than air which makes it very combustible.	Since it disperses into the air quickly, it is generally safe.
LPG is mainly used for cooking and heating in households. It also has a variety of applications in industries and agriculture.	CNG’s main usage is as a fuel substitute in automobiles.
LPG is primarily produced through the extraction of natural gas from reservoirs.	Oil wells, coal wells, bed methane wells, etc., are the main sources of CNG.
It emits a significant amount of carbon dioxide.	It emits fewer greenhouse gases when compared to LPG.

CNG and its Benefits  

The benefits of CNG are listed below: 

1. CNG, also known as the green fuel due to its lack of lead and sulphur, minimises toxic emissions. Because it is non-corrosive, it extends the life of spark plugs. Since CNG does not contain lead or benzene, lead fouling of spark plugs and lead or benzene emissions are eliminated. 
2. Vehicles that run on CNG have lower operating costs when compared to those that run on other fuels. 

1. CNG is a safe fuel since is kept in certified high gauge seamless cylinders so there is little danger of leakage. It is lighter when compared to air. Therefore, if there is a leak, it simply rises and diffuses into the atmosphere, where it readily and evenly mixes with the air. 
2. CNG vehicles can run on CNG as well as petrol.  
3. CNG does not pollute or dilute the crankcase oil, resulting in longer oil life. 
4. CNG is less prone to auto-ignite on hot surfaces due to its high auto-ignition temperature and a limited range of flammability. It indicates that CNG will not burn if its concentration in the air is less than 5% or more than 15%.
