Within the framework of collaboration, between the Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons in Equatorial Guinea & TAQA Arabia, the company has successfully transferred its knowledge and know-how to introduce the CNG/GNV technology enabling cars to run with natural gas for the first time in Equatorial Guinea.
The collaboration between the Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons operation team and TAQA’s technical experts, have converted the first 5 cars to run on Compressed Natural gas successfully. Kits were safely installed, training for drivers and technicians has been conducted on site, and cars were calibrated to international standards.
Converted cars were a mix between governmental and citizen cars. Thanks for Mr. Lukas who`ve trusted and believed in the technology and offered his car to be converted believing in the future of the technology, the potential energy savings and protection of the environment.
In cooperation with Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons in Equatorial Guinea, TAQA Arabia intends to deploy all its efforts, experience, and know-how on developing gas infrastructure projects in several phases aiming to achieve and support Equatorial Guinea commitments towards net CO2 emissions by 2050.
The discussed and potentially agreed on projects will directly and indirectly support Equatorial Guinea financial system utilizing the country’s energy resources resulting in minimizing importation of expensive fuel commodities and creating cheaper transportation alternatives while also providing several job opportunities for local talents.
