Description

Gaseous fuels are the foundation of potential heat energy. They are gaseous state hydrocarbons consisting of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Pipes are used to disseminate gaseous fuels to transport them to their consumption place. The fuels are divided into various classes like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas (methane, CH4), gas to liquid (GTL), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and compressed natural gas (CNG). This topic discusses economics, state and chemistry, modes of transportation, production sources, global consumption/production, and utilization of gaseous fuels.
