Compressed Natural Gas

Compressed Natural Gas
(CNG)
  Natural gas (methane) that has been compressed to a higher pressure gaseous state by a compressor; used in CNG vehicles.
  ***
  natural gas that has been compressed under high pressure, typically between 2,000 and 3,600 pounds per square inch, held in a container. The gas expands when released for use as a fuel.
  California Energy Comission. Dictionary of Energy Terms
  ***
  Natural gas compressed to a pressure at or above 200-248 bar (i.e., 2900-3600 pounds per square inch) and stored in high-pressure containers. It is used as a fuel for natural gas-powered vehicles.
