Bioeconomy represents the future of European growth. The new strategy outlined by the EU Commission to get rid of the dependency on fossil fuels aims at developing a wide sector that has already an annual turnover of 2 trillion euros, employs 22 million people and that, with a more “integrated framework” of funding and regulation, could create 400.000 additional jobs and a 0.4 percent rise in the bloc’s GDP. “that it is of course not a clever gas.

New hope is seen in Egypt nowadays with a popular revolution erupted early year 2011. The long-waited change of the 30-year ruling regime, once thought to be unthinkable, was a shot in the arm for the country. Several plans, programs, initiatives were introduced since then to support the economy and achieve the anticipations of a real progress, development and democracy long fancied for decades in Egypt.
CNG was one of the thriving business activities that hit a remarkable increasing demand in Egypt during year 2011 with over 17802 vehicles converted to CNG during the year. Egypt who is an NGV leader in Africa(166000 CNG vehicles and 146 CNG stations till end of January 2012) exerts extra efforts nowadays to increase the Checking the CNG cylinder before fueling in CNG station in Egypt number of vehicles running by CNG instead of gasoline while extending the natural gas grid to upper Egypt and manifold areas countrywide. vehicular fuel. Bringing fruits in mid people to convert their vehicles to 1990s led to establishing two CNG, the Ministry of Petroleum has Cooperation was fruitful with the companies affiliated to the Egyptian fixed the gas selling price & the local vehicles assembling & Ministry of Petroleum(Cargas & conversion fees since then. manufacturing companies like Gastec) on purpose of executing an The high-level technical labour well Hyundai & Chevrolet to convert NGV project through setting up CNG trained in Italy, Argentina, South vehicles to natural gas on the fueling stations and converting Korea and U.S.A was quite production line which was hailed vehicles to work by the dual instrumental to pull out adoption of from the car drivers. Also contract fuel(gas/gasoline). To motivate the advanced NGV technologies. was recently concluded in this concern between Gas Tec.(major CNG company in Egypt) and the governmental Social Fund for Development to finance converting 2800 vehicles to natural gas through loans with modest terms to the customers.
Public transport also started adopting CNG as an alternative fuel in Egypt where two new CNG bus fueling stations at a cost of L.E 20 million and fueling points accessible to the public will be eminently opened in Cairo in addition to others previously opened in Cairo & Alexandria. Several other CNG stations are scheduled to be established during year 2012.
The wide steps Egypt has taken in the field of utilizing natural gas as an environmentally clean fuel in vehicles trace back to early 1985 where it was the first country in Africa & the Middle East to bring about a pilot Major CNG conversion center in Egypt project of utilizing natural gas as a March 2012 Gas Vehicles Report 23
However, despite the tremendous efforts exerted to back up the project, several obstacles cropped up that concretely impacted the growth rates of the NGV project such as the considerable rising of prices of most of the NGV requirements imported yet from abroad like the fueling stations, cylinders and conversion kits as well as the spare parts …et.
Other factors contributed to crippling the NGV expansion like the increasing cost of extending the gas grid & its entailing effect on the economic feasibility of establishing the stations, the growing direct & indirect costs of the required utilities and the increasing operational & maintenance expenses coupled yet with the skyrocketing prices of the lands required for practicing the activity.
