Is LPG same as natural gas?

LPG is liquefied petroleum gas which is either propane or butane with a heat content of 93.2MJ/m3. On the other hand, natural gas is primarily methane and has a heat content of 38.7MJ/M3. Both are crude oil products, but the energy content and density are different.

Which gas is natural gas?

methane
Natural gas (also called fossil gas; sometimes just gas) is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting of methane and commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium.

Is CNG is a natural gas?

Two forms of natural gas are currently used in vehicles: compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Both are domestically produced, relatively low priced, and commercially available.

How is LPG made from natural gas?

How is LPG produced? LPG is a byproduct of natural gas and oil extraction and crude oil refining. Around 60\% of LPG stocks in the last years have been separated from raw gas and raw oil during the extraction of natural gas and oil from the earth, and the remaining 40\% have been a byproduct when crude oil is refined.

What is LPG made of?

LPG is composed mainly of propane and butane, while natural gas is composed of the lighter methane and ethane.

How is LPG made from petroleum and natural gas?

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is recovered from “wet” natural gas (gas with condensable heavy petroleum compounds) by absorption. The recovered product has a low boiling point and must be distilled to remove the lighter fractions and then be treated to remove hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and water.

What is the source of LPG?

LPG is prepared by refining petroleum or “wet” natural gas, and is almost entirely derived from fossil fuel sources, being manufactured during the refining of petroleum (crude oil), or extracted from petroleum or natural gas streams as they emerge from the ground.
