CNG on Demand

Along with recent industrial revolution in the world, especially in Asia region, supply and demand of energy has experienced a sudden increase. Combined with energy demand from private sector, include residential and commercial, it is predicted that in 2030, energy demand will increase by 66% compared to demand in 2000.

A look at demand trends in world energy according to types of fuel, shows that while an increase is foreseen in the ratio for natural gas from 23% in 2000 to 28% in 2030, the ratios for oil decrease slightly, as the oil price raise in international market. Natural gas becomes popular as it is combustible, and when it burned gives off a great deal of energy. Unlike other fossil fuels, however, natural gas is clean and emits lower levels of potentially harmful by products into the air. We require energy constantly, to heat our homes, cook our food, and generate our electricity. It is this demand for energy that has elevated natural gas to such a level of importance in our society and in our lives.

Natural gas, especially in Indonesia where the proven gas reserve is considered three times bigger than oil reserves, is now seen as one of the most attractive alternative energy. Moreover after the government intensively promote the use of natural gas by issuing some new regulations.

Looking the fact that supply of natural gas comes with some challenges, as it needs relatively high investment, discontinuity sources, inflexibility distribution, etc., Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) comes up as the best solution.
