The House of Representatives has launched a probe into the implementation of the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative, P-CNG.
The ad-hoc committee set up by the House is tasked with assessing the adequacy of existing legal and regulatory frameworks guiding the policy, with a view to recommending necessary legislative reforms.
The Compressed Natural Gas Policy is a key component to the nation’s energy transition agenda.
It represents a strategic shift towards cleaner, safer, and more economically viable alternatives to conventional fossil fuels, especially in the transportation sector.
In response to the removal of fuel subsidies, the Federal Government proposed the CNG initiative as a palliative and long-term solution to cushion the effects of high petrol prices.
This ad-hoc committee has the mandate of the House to evaluate the status of the CNG policy implementation, interrogate the processes, and identify bottlenecks.
