Description

Introduction of CNG:

CNG stands for "Compressed Natural Gas", which is compressed to 200 bar (20MPa). CNG consists mainly of methane (over 95%) with a small amount of other gases. Due to the size of the molecule, it contains the most energy per unit volume of all available commercial fuels, including pure hydrogen. Methane, as the main component of CNG, is suitable for heating, domestic water heating and is currently increasingly used as a fuel in road, rail and shipping transport. It is not possible to contaminate the soil and water with it , as it is lighter than air, in the event of a leak it disperse in the air. When CNG alone is burned, significantly less pollutants, nitrogen oxides, NO x, carbon dioxide, CO2, particulate matter and carcinogens are released into the air, which makes it an alternative ecological fuel.

The aim of the project is to build a CNG filling station, i.e. building the relevant CNG infrastructure in the region Kysuce and making the CNG car rental service available. By "renting" demonstration vehicles the project wants to bring closer the benefits of using CNG motorization in practice. Demonstration vehicles will be provided to surrounding companies to test and compare the economic and environmental benefits of switching to CNG motorization. Different types of CNG-powered vehicles will be available , and also available to cover a wide range of applications in different service areas in the industrial park and the nearby region. The project implementation will consist of 6 logical units: Administrative launch of the project, Provision of documents for the project solution of CNG technology, Land settlement, Installation of CNG technology, Public procurement and Marketing activities.
