According to the firm, its existing compressed natural gas clients in the IP like Oechsler Motion Vietnam of German plastics technology company Oechsler, Nam Hung Steel, Asia Steel, and Petfood Evolution, will shift to using LNG supplied by the station, and other clients will follow suite later.
Nguyen Huu Xuan, deputy director of CNG Vietnam, said this LNG station was of a small scale but his firm’s first step into the LNG supply sector, which is part of Vietnam’s clean energy transition.
