Solution

The two main forms in which natural gas is put to use are:

  1. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): It is compressed to high pressure and is commonly utilised as an environmentally friendly, cost-effective alternative to fuel and diesel in cars.
  2. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is supercooled into a liquid state, considerably reducing its volume and making it easier and safer to store and transport over large distances (particularly by ship when pipelines are not viable).
