The Dominican Republic is installing the latest global technology for the management, transportation and distribution and the installation of fuel converters for industries and vehicles nationwide. Carlos Jose Marti, of Marti Petroleum Group (Tropigas), one of the leading fuel companies in the Dominican Republic said Dominicans have been sent abroad for training in matters related to the fuel management and distribution.
He said that last year Tropigas invested US$15 million to install tanks, evaporators and liquefied natural gas equipment. He said an investment of US$12 million has been made and another US$8 million will be invested during the rest of the year.
Interviewed by Ruddy Gonzalez for Color Vision, Marti discussed the benefits for the country in economic and environmental terms, of the massive use of natural gas in industry and vehicles. He said major industries including Grupo Rica and Group M have converted to natural gas in their plants.
While Marti admitted that so far there are only four LNG fueling stations in operation in the country, he forecast that there would be between 12 and 14 by the end of the year. He said that vehicles converting to natural gas have 50% savings compared to diesel, and 30 to 40% compared to propane.
