What kind of gas is used for vehicle refueling?
1 Answers
Vehicle refueling uses Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), which is natural gas pressurized and stored in containers in a gaseous state, with the same composition as pipeline natural gas, primarily consisting of methane. CNG is an ideal alternative energy source for vehicles, and its application technology has become increasingly mature after decades of development. It features low cost, high efficiency, no pollution, and safe and convenient usage, demonstrating strong development potential. Natural gas refueling stations are generally divided into three basic types: fast-fill, standard-fill, and a combination of both. Natural gas is colorless and odorless, so mercaptan is added to give it a smell to aid in leak detection. Essentially, natural gas is harmless to the human body.
