Peru: Cálidda Suggests Switching to CNG as Vehicle Fuel amid LPG Shortage

Due to the current LPG shortage in Peru, the energy company Cálidda has recommended that drivers switch to the natural gas system for their vehicles. This suggestion is based on the fact that natural gas is not only cheaper than LPG but also abundant in the country.

There are over 300 CNG service stations in Peru, along with 150 authorized conversion workshops. The company has emphasized that the conversion process is simple and involves leaving the car at the workshop for the duration of the conversion. The workshop then enters into a contract with the Social Energy Inclusion Fund (FISE) to carry out the conversion.

The LPG discount voucher is available in all regions where the NGV Savings Program is implemented, such as Lima, Callao, Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Ancash, Junín, Ica, and Cusco. The program aims to promote the use of natural gas as a cleaner and more sustainable fuel option.

In addition to the cost savings, natural gas vehicles also produce fewer emissions than their LPG or gasoline counterparts. This makes them an attractive option for those looking to reduce their environmental impact while still enjoying the benefits of a reliable and efficient vehicle.
