Agreement signed converting 2,000 cars to run on natural gas

The Ministry of Petroleum signed Tuesday a contract with the Social Fund for Development (SFD) funding the fourth phase of a project converting cars to run on natural gas.

The contract targets converting 2,000 new cars to work with natural gas, in a project worth EGP 10m.

Minister of Petroleum Sherif Ismail said increased annual rates of converting cars to natural gas since the beginning of the project is an important indicator of the growing awareness.
This is particularly regarding consumption rationalization, easing burdens on the national budget, and a reliance on an environmental, clean fuel.
