…infrastructure reasons. However, fuel storage and cylinder cost remain significant factors affecting wider adoption. CNG's energy density is the same as liquefied natural gas at 53.6 MJ/kg. Its volumetric energy density, 9 MJ/L, is 42% of that of LNG (22 MJ/L) because it is not liquefied, and is 25 percent that of diesel…
