Pakistan: Fuel Efficiency in the Road Transport Sector

The primary objective of the project was to improve the energy efficiency of motor vehicles through proper tune-up practices to minimize GHG emissions. The project’s benefits accrue at regional, national and international level. Vehicle owners benefit from reduced fuel expenditures, while at the national level, the oil import bill is minimized. The project further aimed to create jobs and business opportunities. 

Pakistan: Increasing Natural Gas share in the energy mix

CNG has been introduced as an alternative in the transport sector.  During the 1990s the government provided incentives to the private sector to promote CNG as an alternative fuel, and as of 2003, Pakistan was the largest CNG consumer country in Asia.  Other initiatives were under consideration (2003) to expand the policy, including introducing a fleet of CNG buses, using further incentives to replace polluting diesel with CNG and expanding the use of natural gas in the power sector as well.
