ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has become the largest user of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) with 2.50 million vehicles using CNG as fuel and total number of 3329 CNG stations are operating across the country, according to Economic Survey of Pakistan 2010-11.
Use of CNG as fuel in transport sector has observed a quantum leap, replacing traditional fuels. After the successful CNG programme for petrol replacement, the government is now looking to replace the more polluting "diesel fuel" in the road transport sector.
Besides, the government has planned to offer incentives to investors to introduce CNG buses in the major cities of the country.
Due to cost savings, the transport sector has switched from petrol and in some cases from diesel to CNG.
