NG is much harder to store than propane. You have to cool natural gas to -260F to make it a liquid. Propane takes about 150 psi @ 90F to make it a liquid. If you try to store the natural gas as a gas (not as a liquid) it takes a big tank to get much useful energy storage.

That sure puts a bug in the ointment. I was thinking it would be as easy as propane.

"If you try to store the natural gas as a gas (not as a liquid) it takes a big tank to get much useful energy storage."NG is stored (injected) underground. Some of the best places for it are depleted oil and gas fields.
Those old collapsable tanks went out decades ago.
