TPDC’s Oil and Gas director Dr Wellington Hudson disclosed this during a news conference here yesterday.

He stated that some companies are entirely owned by local investors, while others are joint ventures involving local and foreign investors.

In the same line, he said that nine natural gas filling stations for vehicles will be built and completed over the next 24 months.

“Two stations, which are being constructed by Taqa (Taqa Arabia) and Dalbit (Dalbit Petroleum) around the airport and Sinza opposite Sam Nujoma Road, will be ready before the end of this year,” said Dr Hudson.

These stations, he explained, will have workshops for converting vehicles to CNG system. To make it even more interesting, he said, authorities have started to receive raw materials for the construction activities.

Within the set timeframe of two years, TPDC also intends to build a CNG mother station at Mlimani City that will enable large vehicles to pick up the gas from the station and distribute it to various regions where infrastructure has not yet been reached.

Dr Hudson added that this centre will be able to fill six vehicles with natural gas at once and enhance six lorries to pick up gas from the station and distribute it to other areas.

The mother station will also have a workshop for converting vehicles to CNG fuel. The government has already procured the contractor for the construction of the centre, he announced.

Other stations will be constructed in Bagamoyo by Turky Petroleum, two at Mkuranga by Anric Company and Dangote, and Goba by BQ Company.

Dr Hudson also used the press conference to explain the reason behind the current high queue at the Ubungo-based natural gas filling station.

He attributed the challenge to the faults in the CNG tanker that picks up the gas from the Ubungo station and distributes it to the Tazara-based Anric station.

This suggests that only one filling station of Ubungo is now working and all natural gas consumers have to get services from the same.

However, Dr Hudson said: “We are working on the problem and we expect the services to resume at the end of next week.”
