Abstract
Natural gas, which is mostly made up of methane, is an environmentally beneficial energy source that has gained popularity as a potential solution to the present environmental pollution issue. However, its low density and transportation problems have prevented its widespread use. This analysis looks at the qualities and advantages of compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in compared to conventional fuels. It also delves into the design and construction of pressure vessels used to store CNG, including the use of composite materials to increase safety and performance. Furthermore, the research examines contemporary literature on improving the performance of CNG cylinders using sophisticated production processes and regulatory standards. The findings illustrate CNG's potential as an acceptable substitute for fuel, provided that issues with material selection, manufacturing methods, and long-term reliability are addressed.
