gaasikütusel

Gaasikütusel refers to fuel derived from natural gas. This can encompass a range of substances, with the most common being compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). CNG is natural gas compressed to a high pressure and stored in tanks. LNG is natural gas cooled to a very low temperature, causing it to liquefy, which significantly reduces its volume for storage and transportation.

The primary component of gaasikütusel is methane, although it can also contain small amounts of other hydrocarbons like ethane, propane, and butane. Its use as a fuel offers several advantages, including a cleaner combustion profile compared to traditional liquid fuels like gasoline and diesel, resulting in lower emissions of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. It is also often more cost-effective.

Gaasikütusel finds application in various sectors, most notably in transportation. Many vehicles, including buses, trucks, and some passenger cars, are designed to run on CNG or LNG. It is also used for heating and electricity generation. The infrastructure for gaasikütusel, including refueling stations and distribution networks, is still developing in many regions. However, its environmental benefits and potential cost savings continue to drive its adoption. The extraction and processing of natural gas, from which gaasikütusel is derived, are complex industrial processes.
