The transportation industry steadily promotes natural gas vehicles and boats

A few days ago, the Department of Policy and Regulations of the Ministry of Transport and the Oil and Gas Division of the National Energy Administration jointly convened a seminar on the promotion of the use of natural gas vehicles and transportation in the transportation industry.

At the meeting, He Jianzhong stressed that it is necessary to further raise awareness of the promotion of the use of natural gas vehicles and boats. The use of natural gas in automobiles and ships has obvious advantages in emission reduction and has a promising market. Existing pilot demonstration projects have acquired certain experience for reference.

He Jianzhong put forward several requirements for the steady promotion of the use of natural gas vehicles and ships in the next step. First, we must further improve and improve the relevant laws, regulations, standards and plans. Second, we must strengthen the rational distribution of natural gas filling facilities to meet the needs of use. Third, we must improve the relevant support and guidance policies, create a guarantee mechanism for the supply of gas supply for transportation, and a reasonable price mechanism for natural gas, so that both gas supply and transportation companies have benefits. Fourth, we must further strengthen pilot demonstration work, strengthen systematic research, and promote the healthy development of natural gas vehicles.

Representatives from relevant national ministries, experts and scholars inside and outside the industry, and company representatives attended the meeting and exchanged views on the current status, prospects, and problems of the use of natural gas vehicles and ships in the transportation industry.
