Q1. What is PNG?

Ans. Piped Natural Gas (PNG) is mainly methane – CH4 with a small percentage of other higher hydrocarbons. The ratio of carbon to hydrogen is least in methane and hence it burns almost completely making it the cleanest fuel. It is procured from the oil / gas wells and transported through a network of pipelines across the country.

Q2. What is the difference between PNG and LPG?

Ans. LPG is Liquefied Petroleum Gas and PNG is Piped Natural Gas. LPG comes in cylinders of different capacity. PNG is supplied through pipeline directly to your kitchen.

Q3. How is PNG better than LPG?

Ans. PNG has several advantages over LPG and offers unmatched convenience.

  • Continuous and uninterrupted supply - PNG will be supplied to your house 24 hours a day, 7 days a week all through the year at your control. No monthly booking challenges as in case of cylinders.
  • Safety - PNG is absolutely safe. PNG is lighter than air & instantaneously mixes with air and evaporates, in case of any leakage. However, LPG is heavier than air, and so, in case of any leakage, it will settle down in the surroundings, with higher chances of fire from the cylinder.
  • Clutter free and space free - The LPG cylinder occupies space in the kitchen. However, PNG is supplied through a half-inch pipeline which occupies almost close to negligible space when set up and is more aesthetic.
  • Consumption based billing - Pay for what you use. In case of PNG, you have to pay as per the consumption based on meter reading.
  • A greener fuel - As the ratio of carbon to hydrogen is least in methane, this makes PNG one of the cleanest fuel. Let’s do our bit for the environment.
Q4. What changes are required for conversion of a LPG appliance to PNG?

Ans. PNG works on a cooking appliance just like LPG does. Converting an existing LPG appliance to a PNG friendly one is done by trained MCGDPL technicians.
