It makes the gas easier and more economical to transport over long distances.
Natural gas in its normal form is a gas. When natural gas is cooled to a temperature of -162 degrees C, it is compressed into a liquid is is 1/600th its original size. Liquefied natural gas is much easier to transport then compressed natural gas.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is produced by cooling natural gas to extremely low temperatures, around -260°F, which transforms it into a liquid form. This process, known as liquefaction, reduces the volume of the gas for easier transportation and storage, making LNG a preferred method for shipping natural gas over long distances.
LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a portable fuel stored in cylinders, while piped natural gas is delivered through underground pipelines to homes and businesses. LPG is typically used for cooking and heating in areas without piped natural gas infrastructure.
no it's a gas, compressed to around 1% of normal volume. If it was compressed to the liquid state, you'd call it liquified natural gas (LNG).
Liquefied petroleum gas is a gas at room temperature but is compressed into a liquid for transportation.
Natural gas (out of the ground) that has been compressed until it forms a liquid.
CNG (compressed natural gas) OR LPG (liquefied petroleum gas)
LPG: Liquefied Petroleum Gas CNG: Compressed Natural Gas
Natural gas in its normal form is a gas. When natural gas is cooled to a temperature of -162 degrees C, it is compressed into a liquid is is 1/600th its original size. Liquefied natural gas is much easier to transport then compressed natural gas.
Without knowing whether this is atmospheric-pressure natural gas, pipeline-pressure or compressed natural gas (and the pressure it's been compressed to), or liquefied natural gas, this is an unanswerable question.
NGL is not liquefied natural gas, which is condensed natural gas that is compact and therefore convenient for overseas shipping.
There are cars that run on diesel, CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and electric power.

CNG is compressed natural gas
Yes.
Natural gas is typically transferred through pipelines. The gas is compressed and pumped through the pipelines over long distances. It can also be transported by ships in liquefied form (LNG) or by trucks in compressed form (CNG) for shorter distances.
