ADNOC Distribution opens dedicated NGV station
The UAE retailer has around 30 locations where it offers compressed natural gas.
ADNOC Distribution has opened the company’s first dedicated CNG refueling station in the United Aram Emirates (UAE). Located on Abu Dhabi Island, the station has been fully refurbished to offer natural gas vehicles (NGVs) refuelling services in the city center.
One of 30 locations where CNG is offered at ADNOC service stations across the country, the Al Zahiyah Station is part of a strategic relocation of CNG fueling to more convenient, dedicated locations.
“The demand for CNG has risen steadily in recent years – both with large scale businesses, including taxi companies, as well as every day consumers. The new station aims to bring convenient, inner-city access to CNG fueling, with four dedicated pumps. We now have seven stations offering CNG located on Abu Dhabi Island, and many more throughout the UAE,” said Eng. Bader Saeed Al Lamki CEO, ADNOC Distribution.
ADNOC Distribution has been offering CNG at its service stations for more than a decade, with the first NGV conversions conducted in September 2010. To date, over 10,000 vehicles have been converted to operate on CNG.
The conversions are performed by authorized NGV Conversion Workshop operators. All conversion are checked and certified by a Third Part Inspector agency – in line with rules and regulations under guidance of the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA).
