An L-CNG pump gets liquified natural gas (LNG) in tankers/trucks, which is stored underground, and turns to gas at the time of dispensing. Photo: HTMumbai: Auto fuel retailers dispensing compressed natural gas (CNG) are planning to open liquified CNG or L-CNG outlets, with at least two companies already firming up plans. A typical CNG pump receives natural gas through pipelines which is compressed and stored as CNG. In case of CNG stations, the fuel station needs to be located near the city gas firm’s existing transmission line. While CNG costs Rs42.63 per kg in Mumbai, diesel costs Rs66.95 a litre on Thursday and petrol costs Rs80.32 a litre.
