State-owned natural gas transmission and marketing company GAIL (India) and Container Corporation of India have signed an MoU to assess the feasibility of using Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as fuel for CONCOR’s logistics fleet.
The collaboration seeks to harness LNG’s advantages as a cleaner and more cost-effective alternative to diesel, which could result in reduced emissions and lower operational costs, GAIL said on Friday following the MoU signed in the presence of Director (Marketing) Sanjay Kumar and CONCOR CMD Sanjay Swarup.
The MoU is yet another step towards CONCOR’s commitment to provide sustainable logistics solutions. It has already established LNG station at MMLP Khatuwas in Rajasthan and procured a fleet of 130 LNG trailers, which is resulting in reduction in carbon foot prints in the company’s day to day operations, Mr.Swaroop said.
Mr. Sanjay Kumar said GAIL holds the largest LNG portfolio in the country, with contracts spanning multiple geographies worldwide that position it as a reliable LNG supplier.
