A MAJOR compressed natural gas (CNG) filling station capable of serving 1,200 vehicles daily has been completed at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM).
Judith Kapinga, the Energy deputy minister, made this affirmation when visiting the site alongside members of the parliamentary committee on Energy and Minerals at the weekend.
The facility will be used to provide CNG refueling for motor vehicles and serve as a distribution point for CNG to smaller stations not connected to the gas pipeline infrastructure, she stated, explaining that the station will have the capacity to serve eight vehicles simultaneously and handle up to 1,200 vehicles per day.
The project, costing 18.9bn/-, includes the construction of the mother station at UDSM and two smaller stations at the Muhimbili National Hospital and the Kairuki Hospital within the city centre permieter, she said.
The funding was provided entirely by the government through the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC), she stated, appealing for private sector involvement in building additional CNG stations.
