Iran’s self-sufficiency in manufacturing CNG tanks has been also predicted. Although 12 local and 3 foreign companies are involved in the provision of compressed natural gas equipments, it is expected that domestic industry will be able to supply all the CNG kit technology in the near future, Zeighami noted.
Currently, there are 1960 natural gas refueling stations across the country supplying three million NGVs with 18 million cubic meters of CNG daily, Managing Director of National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company (NIOPDC) Jalil Salari revealed.
In a statement read at the NGV conference, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad remarked that local CNG industry had made great achievements like other science-based industrial sectors in light of the nation’s self-confidence and endeavours.
