The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in NCR and its Adjoining Areas assessed the preparedness of industrial areas in the national capital region (NCR) and checked how many completed their transition to piped natural gas (PNG) and other approved fuels in a meeting held Friday.
In the meeting, which was attended by 11 city gas distributers (CGDs) of the NCR and officials of the ministry of petroleum & natural gas (MoPNG), the distributors informed the committee that of the 240 industrial areas in the region, 179 had so far completed the switch to approved fuel.
The CGDs present at the meeting said that by September 2023, all industrial areas will be connected by gas infrastructure.
