Methane (CNG)
Methane (CNG – Compressed Natural Gas) is a clean, efficient, and economical fuel increasingly used as an alternative to conventional fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Its main component is methane (CH₄), which is stored and transported under high pressure in gaseous form.
What makes methane particularly attractive is its versatility—it can be used both for vehicles and in industrial applications. In road transport and public transit, CNG provides a cleaner and more sustainable energy source, while in industry, it offers a stable and cost-effective energy supply for various processes.
Methane is a strategic choice for individuals, companies, and institutions seeking to reduce costs, increase energy efficiency, and contribute to environmental protection.
Why Use CNG Methane?
Methane is an ideal fuel for vehicles because it combines cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and reliability. An increasing number of passenger and commercial vehicles are switching to CNG due to its benefits:
- Reduced emissions: CNG vehicles produce significantly fewer harmful emissions compared to gasoline and diesel.
- Cost efficiency: Lower fuel costs per kilometer and overall fuel expenditure.
- Reliability and longevity: Cleaner combustion extends engine life and reduces maintenance costs.
CNG is commonly used in municipal and delivery vehicles, public transport, ambulances, taxis, tourist vehicles, as well as internal transport vehicles such as forklifts and similar equipment.
Advantages of Using Methane as Fuel
Using methane (CNG) as fuel provides numerous benefits for both individual drivers and companies managing vehicle fleets. Key advantages include:
- Lower fuel costs: Methane is significantly cheaper than gasoline or diesel, resulting in substantial savings, especially for vehicles covering long distances or in constant use.
- Reduced pollution: CNG burns cleaner, reducing CO₂, NOx, CO, and particulate matter (PM) emissions.
- Longer engine life: Cleaner combustion means less engine wear, cleaner oil, and less frequent servicing.
- Higher energy efficiency: Methane has a high octane number (~120), enabling optimal engine performance with lower fuel consumption.
- Quieter operation: CNG engines run much quieter, enhancing driving comfort and reducing urban noise pollution.
- Environmental and strategic benefits: Using methane decreases dependence on oil and contributes to environmental protection.
- Enhanced safety: In case of leakage, methane disperses quickly because it is lighter than air, lowering fire risk compared to gasoline or LPG.
Whether managing a single vehicle or an entire fleet, methane is a reliable solution that saves money, protects engines, and promotes a healthier environment.

CNG (Methane) Pricing
Methane prices are significantly lower compared to gasoline and diesel, making it an economical fuel for daily use and long-distance travel. CNG vehicles spend less per kilometer, and combined with lower maintenance costs and longer engine life, the total savings are substantial—particularly for vehicles in constant operation or commercial fleets.

FAQ
CNG is natural gas (methane), which is lighter than air, whereas LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a mixture of propane and butane, which is heavier than air. CNG is stored in tanks under high pressure, while LPG is stored in a liquid state under lower pressure. CNG is considered more environmentally friendly and is often more affordable.
CNG is usually significantly cheaper than gasoline and diesel. The specific savings depend on current prices, but users often report savings of up to 30-50% per kilometer driven.
Yes, it is. CNG burns cleaner than traditional fuels. It produces significantly fewer CO2 emissions and almost no particulate matter (PM) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), which makes it an excellent choice for reducing pollution in urban areas.
It is stored in steel or composite cylinders (tanks) under high pressure (around 200 bar), typically located in the trunk or underneath the vehicle.
Modern and high-quality CNG systems are designed so that the power drop is minimal or unnoticeable during normal driving.
It is very safe. The cylinders and systems undergo rigorous testing. Since methane is lighter than air, in case of a leak, it quickly disperses, unlike LPG, which remains near the ground.
Maintenance is similar, with mandatory periodic inspections (certifications/recertifications) of the CNG equipment in accordance with legal regulations.
The range depends on the size of the installed cylinders. Converted vehicles are always bi-fuel (they use both CNG and gasoline), meaning that combining both fuels achieves a significantly greater total range compared to standard vehicles.
Unlike LPG vehicles, most countries (including Serbia) permit CNG vehicles to park in underground and enclosed garages. This is because natural gas (methane) is lighter than air, and in the event of a leak, it quickly dissipates towards the ceiling, making the risk significantly lower than with LPG, which remains near the ground. Nevertheless, it is always advisable to check the local regulations of a specific parking facility.
