What Makes Piped Cooking Gas So User-Friendly?
India has been striving to become a gas-based economy. While the current share of gas in India’s energy mix is 6%, the central government has set an ambitious target of increasing it to 15% by 2030. Since natural gas is also used in households as piped natural gas (PNG), increasing the user base for this cooking fuel is one of the ways to effectively move towards our natural gas targets. Similarly, the rising use of CNG-powered vehicles can also help drive India’s gas transition. (CNG, or compressed natural gas, is a low-emission fuel used to power automobiles.) In 2018-19 alone, 11.25 lakh connections for CNG and PNG were made in the two cities of Mumbai and Delhi.
