President Leonel Fernandez was in Boca Chica yesterday to inaugurate the country's first natural gas compression and distribution plant, a Linea Clave operation. The plant was constructed at a cost of US$10 million. Natural gas for use by the plant will be imported and stored by the AES Andres Company at their storage facilities also in the Punta Caucedo area. Linea Clave president Ricardo Canalda explained that there are plans to convert 140,000 vehicles to run on natural gas. President Fernandez commented that 40,000 official vehicles could be converted to run on natural gas. Natural gas is cheaper, produces less contamination and is more efficient. Linea Clave spokesmen indicated that natural gas costs 7% less than fuel oil, 48% less than diesel, 24% less than subsidized propane, 48% less than non-subsidized propane and 66% less than gasoline.
