Acoording  to The Economist, Pakistan is one of the biggest user of CNG in the world.  It is clean and non-polluting energy.

CNG is a very popular energy source in Pakistan: it is the country with the largest usage of Compressed Natural Gas in the world.

Made mostly of methane gas, CNG is used as an alternative to gasoline fuel in cars. Not only in Pakistan, but in many other parts of the world. The major drawbacks of CNG though are that their tanks take up way more room than a gas tank would, and that because CNG is compressed, it is highly dangerous. One puncture of the CNG container and it would burst like a bomb.

Yet because of its low cost, no other country has made CNG as much a part of its infrastructure than Pakistan.

CNG is not only cheaper as a fuel source for cars in Pakistan, but for a very long time it was thought that there was an abundance of CNG in the country. They thought there was so much in fact, many factories were converted to be powered by CNG exclusively.

Unfortunately though, there was a major miscalculation in Pakistani’s CNG supply and now the country is starting to run out of the energy source. If ever the time came when the entire CNG supply finished and the country would still be as dependent on it as it is now, the industrial markets in Pakistan could come to a screeching halt, showing a country that has already seen so much misfortunate even more turmoil.
