Gas Natural Promotes Vehicular Natural Gas
Posted on: Monday, 26 May 2008, 06:00 CDT
Spanish energy firm Gas Natural is promoting the use of natural gas as a vehicle fuel and is presenting its gnAuto business for the first time at the 2008 Madrid International Auto Show.
Gas Natural has said that it is studying ways to encourage carmakers to adapt light vehicles to natural gas, with the aim of promoting the use of this alternative fuel in Spain, especially by private drivers.
The company has said that more than 1,700 vehicles run on natural gas in Spain, mainly buses and waste collection vehicles, refueling in more than 40 service stations.
Through its gnAuto business, Gas Natural expects to manage filling station construction projects, from financial investment to maintenance and management, and already supplies compressed natural gas to the facilities.
In February 2008, Gas Natural inaugurated the first public gas filling station in Valencia, Spain, which can be used by any vehicle that runs on the alternative fuel.
The company has also signed an agreement with retailer Carrefour to carry out technical and financial studies into the viability of installing natural gas pumps at Carrefour's petrol stations in Spain.
