The All Pakistan Compressed Natural Gas Association (APCNGA) is devising a plan to conserve gas and reduce its wastage at filling stations operating across the country.
“A comprehensive and workable plan, which is being evolved in consultation with professionals to save gas and reduce its wastage through efficient usage, is likely to be introduced by March next year,” sources in the association told APP.
They said the strategy would help ensure provision of uninterrupted gas supply to the CNG sector and end the load-shedding without creating any burden on the existing system or consumers.
Appreciating the government’s efforts to handle the existing gas shortage in the country efficiently, the sources urged the authorities concerned to maintain the CNG tariff at a reasonable level.
They brushed aside the impression that the CNG sector is involved in gas theft or that CNG outlets consume more natural gas than other sectors.
The sources said the industrial units and business enterprises that do not have alternate energy options, should be accorded priority for gas supply.
Uninterrupted gas supply must also be ensured for the sectors contributing higher revenues to the government and providing direct benefit to the public.
