Puma opens first hybrid retail station

Dar es Salaam has taken a bold step toward modernizing its energy mix with the launch of Puma Energy’s first Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) retail station at Tangi Bovu, Bagamoyo Road.

The station was officially inaugurated this week by Eng. Felchesmi J. Mramba, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Energy, in the presence of Fatma M. Abdallah, Managing Director of Puma Energy Tanzania, Carol Mundle, Acting Ambassador of the Embassy of Canada, and senior representatives from Puma Energy.

The facility has been built to world-class standards with an installed capacity of one million standard cubic feet per day (MMScfd).

It is capable of fueling a wide range of vehicles, from light-duty cars and three- wheelers to heavy-duty trucks. Two high-flow dispensers allow the station to serve up to 50 natural gas vehicles per hour, supported by a Canadian-made 250 HP compressor with a capacity of 1,200 Sm³/hr.

Cascade storage banks of 4,000 litres guarantee supply even during peak demand, while a gas quality assurance system, including a natural gas dryer, ensures safety, consistency, and reliability for every customer.
