ADNOC Distribution, the UAE’s largest fuel and convenience retailer, has opened the company’s first dedicated compressed natural gas (CNG) refuelling station. Located on Al Falah Street on Abu Dhabi Island, the station has been fully refurbished to offer natural gas vehicles (NGVs) access to convenient refuelling in the city centre.
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 fuelling to more convenient, dedicated locations – allowing NGV customers wider options to refuel their natural gas vehicles.
“The demand for CNG has risen steadily in recent years – both with large scale businesses, including taxi companies, as well as every day consumers,” said Eng. Bader Saeed Al Lamki CEO, ADNOC Distribution. “The new station aims to bring convenient, inner-city access to CNG fuelling, with four dedicated pumps. We now have seven stations offering CNG located on Abu Dhabi Island, and many more throughout the UAE.”
ADNOC Distribution has been offering the alternative fuel 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.
