1 Introduction

Along with the ever-increasing development of

the society, the environmental pollution and energy
consumption have become more and more severe. So
energy-saving and emission reduction has been the
major objective of engine research and development.
As an efficient, clean and cheap fuel, natural
gas used for engines can not only solve the power
problem in gas-rich regions and dynamic issues for
other facilities, but, compared with diesel engine, have
advantages in reducing emission of pollutants and
reducing costs.
The main component of natural gas is Methane CNPC Natural Gas Engine,
The “Green Heart” of Mechanical Equipment!
(CH4), it is gaseous under normal temperatures and is a
recognized green and clean energy, having exceptional
advantages in the main social streams of energy-saving
and emission reduction and low-carbon development.
As the natural gas engine market share continues extensive. The natural gas engines will surely play a
