Abstract
An adsorption storage tank for a natural gas includes a pressurizable tank disposed on a vehicle to contain the natural gas. A natural gas adsorbent is disposed in the tank. The natural gas is a mixture of constituents having a constituent statistical distribution of molecule lengths and kinetic diameters. The adsorbent has a pore size statistical distribution of pore sizes to adsorb and desorb the mixture of constituents.
