The increase in daily CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) consumption to 16 million and 700 thousand cubic meters indicates the revival of this fuel's capacity in the country's transportation fleet. This 14% growth in consumption, especially after the third gasoline price adjustment and the development of infrastructure related to dual-fuel systems, has taken place.
Development of Infrastructure and Gasoline Price Adjustment
The development of infrastructure related to CNG stations and the conversion of high-mileage vehicles to dual-fuel systems are among the key factors in the increase of CNG consumption. Given the third gasoline price adjustment, these changes have significantly contributed to improving the CNG market conditions. In this regard, increasing the capacity of CNG stations and facilitating access to this fuel have encouraged consumers to use it.

Consequences of Increased CNG Consumption
The increase of 2 million cubic meters in daily CNG consumption in the country reflects the positive impact of new policies in the energy and fuel sector. This not only helps reduce gasoline consumption and conserve national resources but can also lead to reduced air pollution and improved urban living quality. Given that natural gas is recognized as a cleaner fuel compared to gasoline and diesel, its use, especially in urban areas, can have positive effects on the environment.
Ultimately, these changes in CNG consumption represent efforts made to optimize the use of energy resources in the country and move towards the use of cleaner and renewable fuels. Increasing capacity and developing infrastructure in this area can serve as a model in other energy sectors as well.
