LPG is Liquefied Petroleum Gas and PNG is Piped Natural Gas. LPG is supplied in liquid form just as the name suggests in cylinders whereas PNG is supplied through a pipeline. LPG is used as a fuel in heating appliances and vehicles, where as PNG is used for cooking (gas stoves) and heating water (gas geysers).

Yes, Absolutely. PNG is more advantageous than LPG. There are several reasons as to why PNG is more advantageous than LPG.

Continuous and uninterrupted supply - PNG will be supplied to your house 24 hours a day, 7 days a week all through the year. You do not need to worry about storing PNG.

Easily available - Once you get a connection, you will get it supplied to your house continuously through a pipeline. PNG is available as and when you want it. When you switch your gas stove on or turn on your geyser, it will instantaneously be available.

Safety 24x7 - PNG is absolutely safe. The pressure of PNG is just 21 millibar. The pressure of PNG is 200 times lesser than gas supplied through cylinders. Natural gas is lighter than air, in case of any leakage; it will instantaneously mix with air and evaporate. But, LPG is heavier than air, and so in case of any leakage, it will settle down in the surroundings, leaving higher chances of fire from the cylinder. Hence, PNG is safer than LPG for your family.

Safety valves and Pressure Regulators are installed on pipelines at certain intervals for safety purposes. These pipelines have control and inspection devices to regulate the flow in the pipeline. The pipelines used for connections have minimal holes due to which there is negligible chance of leakage of gas.

Free from any Gas booking worries. Once you have your gas connection through PNG, you do not need to book you gas every month and wait for the cylinder. The gas is instantaneously available through pipelines 24 x 7.

It is highly trustworthy - PNG is supplied and metered just like electricity. Since it is measured just like electricity through meters, there is absolutely zero chance of any tampering or the customer receiving lower weight like LPG supplied in cylinders. The reading for this natural gas received through pipelines is registered only for its actual consumption taken place.

Clutter free and space free - The LPG cylinder occupies space in the kitchen. However, PNG is supplied through a half-inch pipeline which occupies almost close to negligible space when set up.

Pay for what you use - In case of PNG, you have to pay as per the consumption only. This is unlike LPG cylinder where you cannot use all the gas as some quantity is always left in the cylinder.
