The construction of a 10-inch, 300-kilometer gas pipeline from the Dominican Republic to Haiti was approved at the IV Ministerial Meeting of the PetroCaribe ministers yesterday. The decision could turn the Dominican Republic into a fuel distribution center for the entire Caribbean. One expert told Hoy reporters that the country has the technical know-how, the infrastructure and the storage capacity to handle such a pipeline. The system would import, gasify and store the gas while the pipeline was being built, and would handle liquid Natural Gas as well as Compressed Natural Gas. It is expected to enter service within two or three years. Hacienda Minister Vicente Bengoa also said that the Dominican Republic could supply Venezuela with surplus foods and tourist services as part of repayments for the oil it receives from Venezuela.
