Karena Cina mengalami musim dingin berat dengan banyak salju terutama di bagian utara, suply gas diprioritaskan bagi sektor perumahan (sebagai pemanas). Provinsi Cina Tengah, Timur dan Selatan mengalami kekurangan gas suply. Karena temperature udara turun secara drastis, aliran bahan bakar di pipa gas melambat. Dengan demikian, waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk mengisi bahan bakar gas di kendaraan menjadi lebih lama.

Namun demikian, kondisi ini mungkin akan segera membaik ketika musim dingin berakhir. Selain itu, pipa gas kedua akan dibangun dengan jalur Cina Barat-Timur dan direncanakan untuk dibuka bulan Desember 2009. Cina juga memperkaya suply gas dari luar negeri. Salah satunya, LNG (tambahan) akan diimport dari Australia dalam jangaka waktu dekat ini. Meskipun pakar gas menyatakan bahwa reformasi harga gas segera dibutuhkan, pemerintah tidak menaikkan harga gas selama akhir tahun 2009, dengan background, antara lain untuk mensuport stabilitas ekonomi domestik.

Industri NGV di Cina diharapkan akan tetap kuat. Pemerintah diharapkan akan terus mensuport industri in secara aktif, terutama karena Cina telah terpilih sebagai tuan rumah dari konferensi dan pameran ANGVA2011. Keunggulan Cina yang patut dicatat tahun ini adalah kapasitasnya sebagai satu-satunya negara NGV (besar) yang tidak menunjukkan penurunan dalam adopsi dan sales dari NGV dan BG beserta komponen-komponennya selama krisis ekonomi global di tahun 2009.

Di lain pihak, Australia diperkirakan akan menjadi pemasok LNG terbesar kedua dunia dan diharapkan akan mengalami sales booming. LNG export diharapkan akan berlipat dua pada tahun 2017, menurut enerji konsultan Wood Mackenzie. Pangsa pasar Asia diproyeksikan akan meng- gunakan LNG dalam jumlah yang lebih banyak lagi di tahun 2013 dan 2018. Sehubungan dengan hal ini, Australia juga akan mengexport gasnya ke Cina, Jepang, India, Korea dan negara Asia lainnya dan Amerika Utara. Delapan belas LNG proyek (pusat produksi LNG) akan dibuka di Australia bagian barat, utara, dan timur, yang mana 3 unit sudah atau sedang dibangun. Selain itu, satu LNG mikro-plant and BBG diban- gun di pulau Tasmania (di sebelah sela- tan Australia). 16 January 2010 OEM NGVs and CNG vehicle variants

www.hwa-young.co.kr Chinese CNG engines for Bolivia

The presence of China NGV industry is affirmed in more countries across Asia and South America. More and more countries in these regions are using China’s NGV-related products, mainly CNG engines and buses apart from cylinders.

In Santa Cruz, the biggest city in Bolivia, conversion of diesel buses to CNG system will be activated. This programme is supported by the government as it plans to approve the purchase of 6,000 units of CNG engines from China. The conversion will be carried out with full funding (for free).

This month, four units of 4500 cc engines, will be imported to this country for a full testing. Upon the completion and Alternative Fuel success of the test, final approval for purchase can be given. Bolivia has about 65,000 buses that require change or System’s Components conversion. Meanwhile, in La Paz City, 30,000 CNG • High-Low Pressure Regulators engines are required for the conversion. Santa Cruz and • CNG Fuel Filter Cochabamba were reported to have about 45,000 vehicles.

In manufacturing, installing the CNG system and operating the vehicle as well as the fuelling station, conformation to the (international) standards and (local) regulation is persistently underlined and insisted by authorities and NGV experts. Failing to do so could lead to unnecessary vehicle accidents and fatalities. Below are several examples of past accidents caused by the not considering safety the first priority. Cylinders burst and vehicle explosion during gas refuelling can be the result of: • Using LPG/water/O2 tanks and/or substandard tanks instead of CNG * Altering the raw material by stretching if there has been a collision to ensure cylinders.

In India, CNG kits in buses must undergo a mandatory fitness test every three months at government authorized centres. But a majority of operators skip the tests and continue to ply due to lack of enforcement.

After experiencing few explosion-relat- ed-incidents in NGVs, the transport department in Delhi conducted road inspection on public CNG buses, school buses and commercial vehicles in December 2009. The transport department confiscated 300 Blueline and RTV buses found plying without the safety certifications for CNG kits. The inspection is planned to be continued on a daily basis.

By beginning December, the transport department issued notices against 1,900 commercial vehicles, including about 500 Bluelines. The owners have been asked to produce CNG leak-proof certificates (to be presented on December 18), and if they fail to do so, their permits will be cancelled. In Lucknow City, tempos (three-wheeled Light-Duty Commercial Vehicles) and cars will also be checked for an additional CNG cylinder which is fitted to the vehicles by fiddling with the original design of the vehicle.

Another important element is to ensure that supply of components should be sufficient and properly distributed. If the access to the component purchase is difficult, vehicle owners would not be able to replace the needed equipment on time. This could lead to small or big damages or incidents in the vehicle. 32 January 2010 China gas supply faces a big challenge Due to cold winter across China and snow hit in northern part of the country, the demand for NG is rising. In southern cities supplies are reaching their limits. Central and eastern provinces are also facing the worst natural gas shortage in years. China's largest oil and gas producer, CNPC, underlined that its NG supply has gone far beyond previous planning and some of its underground gas storage has been over exploited.

Gas supply is now mainly diverted to provide 100 Yuan as a daily subsidy to department of the National household use. China top gas supplier, more than 8,000 taxi drivers, who have Development and Reform Commission PetroChina, informed that the sudden to turn to gasoline because of the kept the 2009 price, at least, until drop in temperatures has slowed the natural gas shortage.

“Omnitek’s conversion technology complements ABET’s mission to create a cleaner environment in the Philippines, while promoting the use of environmentally friendly biomethane or biogas” said Werner Funk, president and chief executive officer of Omnitek Engineering Corporation.

He noted that ABET is a leader in the design and installation of biogas energy systems in the Philippines -- utilizing animal waste, agricultural and food waste to create methane and biogas fuels. “This represents an inexpensive energy source for existing diesel generators to operate when converted by utilizing Omnitek’s diesel-to-gas technology,” Funk said.

He added that ABET works closely with AsiaBIOGAS Co. Ltd., Southeast Asia’s largest biogas systems design, engineering, construction and operating company, and intends to supply small- and medium-sized engines for power generation operating on biogas. Headquartered in Bangkok, AsiaBIOGAS Co. Ltd. currently operates in Thailand, The Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia.

“Omnitek’s diesel engine conversion technology is being applied throughout the world with great success. Applying this technology also in the Philippines would add a significant number of biogas-powered generators in a short timeframe at an economical cost well below the price of a new engine,” Funk said.

He noted that the company intends to provide training support to the local workforce in the Philippines engaged in engine conversions and may also supply Omnitek’s brand biogas engines to the local market. About Omnitek Engineering Corporation Omnitek Engineering Corporation develops and sells new natural gas engines, as well as proprietary diesel-to-natural gas conversion systems -- providing global customers with innovative alternative energy and emissions control solutions that are sustainable, affordable and designed to combat global warming.
