Abstract
Natural gas is a promising policy element in achieving equitable, balanced, and sustainable economic growth by widening its user base beyond conventional industries. The City Gas Distribution is what we call the “last mile” in entire gas value chain. Gas supplies usually are at low/medium pressure to the residential/domestic, commercial, industrial consumers, and this is called as pipe natural gas and is compressed to very high pressure to increase the volumetric efficiency in order to make it compatible for the usage automobile sectors as compressed natural gas.
