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.
