What is the difference between Natural Gas and propane?

Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV) Ontario | Home
Natural Gas is different from LPG in a number of ways, but primarily because Natural Gas, or CNG, (Compressed Natural Gas) is stored in a compressed, gaseous state and propane is a liquid, fossil fuel bi-product of natural gas processing. Propane liquefies readily under pressure; therefore it is in a liquefied state when stored in the tank at 200 psi. LPG passes through a vaporizer where it becomes a gas and then through a low-pressure regulator.
