Appointment of Gas Fuel Suppliers

The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (“Minister”) has issued Regulation No. 8 of 2014 titled Supply and Distribution of Fuel Gas for Road Transportation (“Regulation”).

The Regulation sets out the criteria and procedures for appointing a business as a supplier and distributor of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in specific areas.

CNG is a fuel derived from natural gas which is mainly composed of methane (C1) that is stored in special pressurized vessels to enable transportation and storage processes as motor vehicle fuel.[1]
