NEW DELHI: GAIL (India) Ltd plans to liquefy natural gas for easy transportation and sale in areas that are not connected with the pipeline grid, helping the nation boost use of the cleaner fuel.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to raise the share of cleaner fuel in the country’s energy mix to 15% by 2030 from the current 6.2% as India aims for net zero carbon by 2070.
To meet that objective companies are investing billions of dollars to build gas infrastructure including liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminals, pipelines and setting up LNG fuelling stations.
