COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG): STUDY FOR NORTH EAST INDIA

Abstract

Every day the human race consumes billion kilojoules of energy by burning fuel. Every year, we burn up the same amount of energy, as we would get from eight billion tones of oil. In practice, through we acquire only two- fifths of the energy from burning oil itself the balances coming from other sources such as coal, gas and unclear energy. Indeed, almost 90% of our energy comes from fossil fuels, which will one day run out.

Natural gas is stored at high pressure, which is called Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). It has advantages of low cost emission, elimination of harmful particulate matter and fuel economy. With pollutions in cities reaching dangerous level largely due to exhaust emission goes to the atmosphere from automobiles and after repeated failure to the Delhi governments to ensure conservation of buses, taxies and auto rick shows into vehicle run on comparatively environment friendly by CNG.
