What is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)?
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is natural gas that has been compressed to reduce its volume, allowing it to be safely transported and stored. Primarily composed of methane, CNG burns cleaner than many traditional fuels and provides a reliable energy source for industrial operations, power generation, and transportation.
Because it can be transported without pipelines, CNG enables businesses to access natural gas in remote locations or during infrastructure constraints.
Certarus delivers CNG through its mobile virtual pipeline network, allowing customers to access dependable natural gas supply wherever it is needed.
CNG Virtual Pipeline: Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Delivery
Certarus’ CNG Virtual Pipeline enables natural gas delivery to locations without pipeline access. Using a network of compression facilities, mobile storage, and specialized transport trailers, we deliver compressed natural gas directly to customer sites.
This flexible model allows operations to start faster, maintain production during outages, and supply remote locations with reliable natural gas.
End to End Solutions
Certarus delivers compressed natural gas directly to your operation through our mobile Virtual Pipeline network. Our integrated CNG sourcing, transportation, and on-site gas systems provide reliable fuel supply when pipelines are unavailable, under construction, or temporarily offline. Customers rely on Certarus to maintain uptime, support project startups, and deliver dependable energy wherever operations require it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)?
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a form of natural gas that has been compressed to a fraction of its volume under standard atmospheric pressure. Primarily composed of methane, CNG is used as a clean-burning alternative fuel, offering significant reductions in emissions compared to gasoline and diesel. Its compressed state allows for efficient storage and transport, making it ideal for various applications, from vehicle fueling to industrial operations.
What is the difference between CNG and regular gas?
The main difference between CNG and regular gas (gasoline or diesel) lies in their composition and environmental impact. CNG is a gaseous fuel composed mainly of methane, which burns cleaner and produces fewer emissions. In contrast, regular gas is a liquid fuel derived from crude oil, which releases more pollutants. Additionally, CNG is stored under high pressure in tanks, while regular gas is stored at lower pressures in liquid form. CNG offers more stable pricing and is a more sustainable energy option.
