about our product
Benefits of using compressed natural gas
Definition: Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is natural gas that is compressed into a high-pressure containers for transportation or storage. It is more cost effective than Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), diesel, petrol and heavy fuel oil and in some newer technologies better than coal, depending on the application.

Frequently Asked Questions
01.
How is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) produced?
CNG is primarily produced by compressing natural gas, which is extracted from underground reservoirs. The natural gas is compressed to reduce its volume, making it easier to store and transport.
02.
What are the advantages of using CNG as a fuel?
CNG is widely used in industrial and fleet applications and may provide operational and cost advantages in suitable applications. It is viewed considered by some organisations as part of their broader energy transition and sustainability strategies. Manufacturing companies and fleets owners will benefit from less maintenance and more efficient operations in comparison to expensive alternatives and traditional energy sources.
03.
Can I use CNG in a hybrid system?
Yes, CNG combines well with other sources and can be used as a fuel for power generators, direct or dual fuel substitutes in petrol and diesel vehicles.
04.
Is CNG a renewable energy source?
CNG is a fossil fuel derived from natural gas reserves. Its combustion generally produces lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to gasoline or diesel, making it a cleaner-burning alternative.
05.
Does the war in Ukraine affect supply?
CNG in produced in around the world including on the African continent. There is an abundance of supply of CNG with global shipping routes that circumvent the Ukrainian territory, reducing the impact of possible global shortages due to the current war.
06.
Is there an established market for CNG in South Africa?
For more than 15 years, CNG Holdings has been supplying Compressed Natural Gas to both industrial and fleet customers. The gas industry is well-established, regulated by NERSA and set for tremendous growth.
