President Leonel Fernandez has instructed government departments to expedite the issue of permits to natural gas-vending stations to encourage more vehicle owners to invest in converting their vehicles to the clean, efficient and lower-costing fuel. At a meeting at the Ministry of Environment yesterday, President Fernandez instructed Environment Minister Jaime David Fernandez Mirabal and Industry & Commerce Minister Manuel Garcia Arevalo to expedite the process. While 133 companies have applied for permission to install natural gas filling stations, only 16 have been approved.
President Fernandez called yesterday's meeting at the Ministry of Environment to encourage government officials to make efforts to expedite the mass use of natural gas in order to reduce the nation's fuel bill. He called a meeting at the Presidential Palace with representatives of natural gas companies and the ministers of Industry & Commerce and Environment for next Tuesday to follow up on the initiative.
