Kazakhstan, Almaty
Upcoming forum in August.
Over the past two years the Republic of Kazakhstan has embraced natural gas for transportation, celebrated and formally kicked off last March 2011 with a Clean Cities Transportation Workshop in Almaty, and the commissioning of its first refuelling infrastructure in April 2010. With concrete plans to build 100 CNG stations and distribute over 100,000 NGVs by 2014, Kazakhstan is said by some to be the next frontier for NGV growth in the Asia Pacific region. Now the country is ready to share its experiences with other cities in the region, via a CNG-NGV Central Asia Forum to be held later this month.
