LPG is used as a fuel for home and industry while CNG is used for power generation. It is now being used as a fuel for transport vehicles because it is less polluting fuel than petrol or diesel. The great advantage of CNG is that it burns directly for cooking in other uses.

CNG	LPG
Its primary use is as an alternative for fuel in automobiles.	It has various uses such as heating and cooking in homes. They also have many other uses such as industrial and agricultural uses as well.
The primary component in CNG is methane.	The primary component in LPG is propane and Butane.
It produces very little greenhouse gases.	It produces carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas and is much cleaner compared to gasoline.
It is very safe as it disperses rapidly into the air.	It is highly flammable as it is much heavier than air.
The primary source of obtaining CNG is from oil wells, bed methane wells, coal wells and even natural gas wells.	The main source of obtaining LPG is from the process of extracting natural gas from the reservoir.
