Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)

Compressed Natural Gas is a clean burning alternative. This gas has been used for many years throughout the world as an alternative energy source and fuel for vehicles.

CNG has thus been identified by the programme as one of the eco friendly fuels to promote and help in setting up the conversion and refueling infrastructure. At the moment South Africa's CNG automotive industry is almost non existent. SANERI has partnered with industry to help set up the CNG infrastructure. One of the partners is CNG Holdings. This is a company that is committed to promote the use of Natural Gas and provide the required technology to achieve this goal.
