Addressing the Third GECF Summit in Tehran, Al-Neyadi said that UAE has paid growing attention to boosting gas consumption as a clean fuel, expressing readiness of his country for enhancing cooperation with other countries in the gas industry.
“Ongoing meeting of heads of state and government of GECF members can result in great developments in production, export and transfer of natural gas”, he said.
UAE encourages its citizens to use natural gas increasingly as fuel, the official added, because it helps protection of environment.
Al-Neyadi also said that UAE encourages using natural gas for transportation so that at present 35 percent of its vehicles are gas-burning vehicles.
