Compressed natural gas (CNG)
CNG supply for industrial, commercial and transport users, with origin, quantities and delivery arrangements stated in each offer.
Natural gas, compressed for transport
CNG is natural gas, mostly methane, compressed to high pressure, typically around 200 to 250 bar. Compression reduces its volume by roughly 150 to 300 times, so useful quantities can be stored and moved in pressure vessels without liquefaction.
Before compression the gas is dried, because moisture can condense or form hydrates at high pressure.

Where CNG is used
Industry off the pipeline
Factories, kilns and process heat users without access to a gas network, often replacing diesel, fuel oil or LPG.
Power generation
Gas engines and turbines at remote, standby or off-grid sites.
Transport
Vehicle fuel for buses, trucks and fleets that run on natural gas.
How CNG reaches the user
CNG is usually moved by road in tube trailers or modular containers, often called a virtual pipeline. It is generally best suited to shorter distances and smaller volumes than LNG.
Transport
Distance from the compression point drives the number of trailers and the delivery cost. Routes, frequency and trailer swaps are planned per site.
Receiving site
Sites typically need a decompression and pressure let-down unit, heating where required, and metering before the gas enters the burner or engine.
Safety and permits
Equipment, storage and road transport must meet local regulations for high-pressure gas. Responsibilities are set out in the contract.
Other gas products can be discussed on request.
