President Leonel Fernandez launched the Program for the Implementation of Mass Use of Vehicular Natural Gas (GNV) yesterday. The program includes issuing new licenses for importing equipment, conversion workshops and installation of 42 new gas stations. The program also involves the creation of four large corridors with natural gas stations from Santo Domingo to the east, north, south and northeast to ensure supplies of natural gas.
President Fernandez also announced the start of a program to convert public transport vehicles to natural gas in order to gradually eliminate the Bonogas subsidy.
Industry and Commerce Minister Manuel Garcia Arevalo outlined the details of the program to the press. He said that natural gas prices have been more stable and guaranteed a reliable supply and better prices for the DR. The Minister stated that the first phase of the program to convert public transport vehicles to natural gas would start in June with 35 workshops that will convert the first 5,000 vehicles increasing to 20,000 by the end of the Fernandez term in August 2012. It was announced that so far 1,614 vehicles have been converted to natural gas.
During an event at the Presidential Palace, President Fernandez handed over licenses to Itulcach Dominicana, V-GT VA Gas Technologia, AES Andres Dominicana, Pimax Investment, Alba Gas, Sunix, and several other companies.
When in Brazil, President Leonel Fernandez had announced the possibility that Odebrecht build a 500 megawatt natural gas plant.
