He stated that the amount of CNG consumed during this period has reached 27 million and 841 thousand cubic meters, showing a 2.4 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
Economic and Environmental Benefits of CNG
Bahrami pointed to the economic and environmental benefits of CNG fuel and said: this fuel not only helps reduce household costs but also impacts the reduction of air pollutants and increases the useful life of vehicle engines. Therefore, the development of this clean and national fuel consumption in Kermanshah province is considered one of the main priorities of the provincial management.
Gasoline Consumption Savings
According to the provided statistics, the increase in CNG consumption in Kermanshah has resulted in savings of 28 million liters in gasoline consumption. This change in refueling patterns indicates the positive impact of new policies aimed at managing energy resources and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Given the current state of energy resources and environmental challenges, increasing the use of CNG as a sustainable and environmentally friendly option is of great importance.
The initiative to increase CNG consumption in Kermanshah can also be seen as a model for other provinces. Considering the positive impacts of this fuel on household economies and the environment, it is expected that policymakers and energy managers in the country will move in this direction and create conditions for further increasing the consumption of this clean fuel.
