Besides the distribution of Bulk CNG to industrial and commercial users, Naturelgaz also focuses on the development of the Auto CNG market in co-operation with CNG vehicle producers.
Kevin Foo, Chairman of Victoria Oil and Gas said, “The agreement to partner with Naturelgaz, starting in Cameroon, brings together GDC’s upstream gas capabilities and experience of the Douala energy market with Naturelgaz’ proven track record of delivering CNG solutions. We are excited to be adding CNG to our product mix.”
Hasan Tahsin Turan, CEO of Naturelgaz said, “As Europe’s largest CNG player we possess significant know-how and expertise in developing and successfully managing complex CNG value chains. We value the high quality of proven gas reserves and the existing asset base of GDC.
