LNG boasts several advantages, including higher energy density, occupying up to three times less space than compressed natural gas (CNG), and providing a longer vehicle range. This makes LNG a crucial contributor to achieving India's ambitious target of increasing the share of natural gas in its primary energy mix from 6.7% to 15% by 2030.
