據(jù)世界天然氣3月2日消息：印度國有燃料零售商BPCL表示，將在未來五年內(nèi)投資160億盧比(2.1億美元)，在馬哈拉施特拉邦的奧蘭加巴德和艾邁德訥格爾區(qū)開發(fā)城市燃氣項目。

公司已正式啟動兩個地區(qū)的城市燃氣配送(CGD)網(wǎng)絡。BPCL通過全資子公司Bharat Gas Resources在第九輪CGD招標中贏得了這兩個許可證。

在前5年，計劃在這兩個27178平方公里的區(qū)域內(nèi)鋪設約30萬個管道天然氣(PNG)連接，100個CNG加氣站，鋪設350公里的鋼管網(wǎng)。

BPCL已經(jīng)開始在這兩個地區(qū)鋪設用于開發(fā)PNG和CNG的鋼管道。該公司已經(jīng)開發(fā)了21個CNG站，其中15個在Ahmednagar, 6個在Aurangabad，另外40個CNG站的建設工作正在進行中。

BPCL表示，對于工業(yè)消費者來說，奧蘭加巴德的Walunj和Shendre地區(qū)以及Ahmednagar的Supa地區(qū)的連接預計將于2022年9月完成。

印度政府設定了一個愿景，要把印度打造成一個以天然氣為基礎的經(jīng)濟體。其目標是到2030年將天然氣在能源結構中的份額從目前的6%提高到15%。

INDIA'S BPCL TO INVEST OVER $200MN IN TWO CITY GAS PROJECTS 

Indian state-owned fuel retailer BPCL will invest 16bn rupees ($210mn) over the next five years to develop city gas projects in Aurangabad and Ahmednagar districts in the state of Maharashtra, the company said March 1.

The company has officially launched the city gas distribution (CGD) networks in the two districts. BPCL won the two licences during the 9th CGD round of bidding through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Bharat Gas Resources.

During the first five years, approximately 300,000 piped natural gas (PNG) connections, 100 CNG filling stations and laying of 350 km of steel pipeline network is planned in an area of 27,178 km2 in the two districts.

BPCL has started laying steel pipelines for the development of PNG and CNG in the two districts. It has developed 21 CNG stations, 15 in Ahmednagar and six in Aurangabad, and work is in process for 40 more CNG stations to be set up in both districts.

For the industrial consumers, the connectivity in areas of Walunj and Shendre in Aurangabad and Supa in Ahmednagar is expected to be completed by September 2022, BPCL said.

The Indian government has set a vision to make India a gas-based economy. The goal is to increase the share of gas in the energy mix from the current 6% to 15% by 2030.
