Works kick off on Romania’s first compressed natural gas filling network

The Association of Producers and Users of Natural Compressed Gas launched the initiative to   build the first network of nine specialized filling stations until the end of 2019.

The stations will be developed in Bucharest, Timisoara, Constanta, Craiova, Arad, Pitesti, Sibiu, Drobeta and Deva.

The project will be developed with European funds and has an overall cost of EUR 5.2 million, out of which the EU contribution is EUR 4.4 million.

According to the data, the natural compressed gas is the fuel with the cleanest burn and the cars that use this fuel have up to 30 percent less gases with green effect than the ones that use gas and Diesel fuel.

“The nine stations we are going to build through this project will be followed by others in order to cover all major roads across the country,”said Dumitru Becsenescu, president of the association.
