Ogra expects the average sale price of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to decline by up to 0
Key Highlights :
Pakistan's Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) has reduced the average sale price of re-gasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) by up to 0.5 per cent, it was announced on Wednesday.
The price reduction, which is effective from January 1, 2019, is in line with the regulator's efforts to promote the use of RLNG in the country's energy mix.
"The average sale price of RLNG has been reduced by up to 0.5 per cent, effective from January 1, 2019," Ogra said in a statement.
"The reduction is in line with Ogra's efforts to promote the use of RLNG in the country's energy mix and to reduce the cost of energy for the masses."
RLNG is a clean-burning fuel that is derived from natural gas and has a lower carbon footprint than traditional fuels.
The fuel is currently used in a limited capacity in Pakistan, but the regulator says it has the potential to play a bigger role in the country's energy mix.
"RLNG has the potential to play a bigger role in the country's energy mix, especially given its low emissions profile," Ogra said.
"This reduction in the average sale price of RLNG is a testament to the regulator's efforts to promote the use of this clean, sustainable and affordable energy source."
