Question

CNG is used for
A) Power generation
B) Electric generators
C) Solvent
D) None of these

Answer 1

Hint: We know that CNG is compressed natural gas and it is used in place of gasoline, diesel and LPG. CNG is a natural gas which is made by compressing methane gas to less than 1% of its original volume.

Complete answer:
We know that CNG is compressed natural gas and it is used in place of gasoline, diesel and LPG. C.N.G is a natural gas which is made by compressing methane gas to less than 1% of its original volume. Compressed natural gas mostly contains methane gas.

Compressed natural gas is an eco-friendly replacement to gasoline. Compressed natural gas is much safer than gasoline and diesel. This is because it is not toxic and it does not contaminate or pollute groundwater. Compressed natural gas keeps pressure and stays clear. It is odourless and non-corrosive in nature. It can be used as a cost effective and greener replacement to petrol and diesel.Compressed natural gas is used as fuel for power plants.

Compressed natural gas is produced by burning of fossil fuels in a boiler. It is a non-renewable resource of energy. Natural gas is found in underground rocks or in hydrocarbon reservoirs in coal beds or in methane clathrates. Compressed natural gas is generally used for power generation in cooking appliances and many other plants where power generation is required. Thus, CNG is used for power generation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A) power generation.

Note:The major source of compressed natural gas is methane. Methane is the cleanest and nicest burning fuel. Compressed natural gas can generate engine power on mixing with air.
