Piped Natural Gas (PNG) is a type of natural gas that is supplied through pipelines directly to households and businesses. It is becoming an increasingly popular energy source, particularly in urban areas, as it is a clean, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to traditional fossil fuels. However, there are several myths and misconceptions surrounding PNG that need to be addressed. In this blog, we will examine some common myths and provide facts about PNG.

Myth: PNG is not safe.

Fact:

PNG is one of the safest fuels available. It is non-toxic and lighter than air, which means it dissipates quickly in case of a leak, reducing the risk of fire or explosion. Additionally, the pipelines used to transport PNG are designed and tested to be safe and durable.

Myth: PNG is expensive.

Fact:

While the upfront costs of installing PNG infrastructure can be high, the long-term savings are significant. PNG is more cost-effective than other traditional fuels like LPG, diesel, or electricity. As PNG is supplied through pipelines, there is no need for storage, reducing the costs of infrastructure maintenance and fuel procurement.

Myth: PNG is not available in rural areas.

Fact:

PNG infrastructure is expanding rapidly, and more rural areas are being connected to the pipeline network. PNG is already available in many smaller towns and villages across the country, and the government has plans to expand the network further.

Myth: PNG is only for cooking.

Fact:

PNG can be used for a wide range of applications, including heating, hot water, and even power generation. Additionally, it is a clean and efficient fuel that produces fewer emissions than other traditional fuels.
