Tanzania is preparing to start using locally sourced natural gas in vehicles from next year. According to a report in the East African, Yona Killagane, managing director of the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation, said his company together with PanAfrican Energy Tanzania Ltd has embarked on a project to develop the natural gas refuelling infrastructure (see NGV Global article). Already, three vehicles belonging to the corporation and the energy firm have been converted to use natural gas as well as petrol or diesel. “In early 2009, Dar es Salaam will see the commissioning of its first compressed natural gas (CNG) refuelling stations at Ubungo and the TPDC compound in Mikocheni area,†he said.
