Ahmedabad: Gujarat Gas, Government Entities, has begun to supply natural gas to consumers in the District Tribe of Narmada by establishing a system where liquefied natural gas (LNG) is delivered using a cryogenic truck.
This is for the first time in a country where this new system is used in tribal belts, a senior official who works with Gujarat gas.
“This is a very difficult terrain to put a pipeline This, “official said.
This system consists of a LNG storage tank and re-gasification facility and is called a Virtual CGD network because it is not connected to the gas grid, he added.
The total cost of the system, which includes a 24,000 kg LNG tank, is under the RS 10 Crore.
Vavdi is about 19 km from the highest unity statue in the world in Kevadia and this system is used to supply natural gas for vehicle consumers and pipelines for cooking in villages and cities in the district, he said.
At the time of Covid-19 Pandemi has made the physical pipe infrastructure arrangement in the country challenges, the Gujarat government put the interior pipeline network in Vavdi and connected to 370 households through the system.
Plans already exist to connect around 2,000 households in the Narmada district using a virtual network over the next few months, according to government officials.
While providing a supply of environmentally friendly and consistent environmentally friendly energy sources, this system also saves costs and time spent on regulating pipe infrastructure.
It also allows consumers to meet their specific needs through customized supply.
Until now, Gas Gujarat has put around 33K internal pipes in Narmada, especially for the last Mile network connectivity to households.
The company currently serves more than 10,000 kg of CNG requests from consumers of vehicles every day.
Such a pipe system plays an important role in the distribution of gas to remote locations in North America and the concept slowly takes in India.
The system can transport compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) to consumers in the distribution network.
Gujarat Gas won the CGD license for Narmada Regency in the ninth offer round held by the Petroleum and Gas Regulation Agency (PNGRB).
The company is a single bidder for Narmada Geographical Area (GA).
