特立尼达和多巴哥有限公司国家天然气公司（NGC）将投资，TTD 500万元（美元78米）的发展，是两阶段淘汰了5年压缩天然气（CNG）计划对所有车辆在特里尼达和多巴哥。该计划的第一阶段将涉及17,500辆 - 马克西出租车，公交车，政府车辆和高里程车辆CNG转换。

能源和能源事务部长，凯文Ramnarine在柜后的新闻发布会上解释说，车辆的转换成本将覆盖由NGC，将不会有国家机构的成本。要实现这一点，部长说，将创建的子公司NGC。

该项目的第二阶段，尚未一直没有得到内阁批准，将涉及22 CNG单机站的建设和CNG泵安装在现有的车站。

Ramnarine指出，先前实施CNG燃料的计划已经不承担水果因各种原因，但政府是有意减少燃油补贴（2012年燃油补贴为404亿美元（63b的美元））成本和增加出口收入，释放起来的资金用于健康和教育计划和其他国家的要求。

这位部长说，他的国家有一个“重要的天然气储量。” 他还解释说，当两个阶段来流的压缩天然气价格也将减少。目前，CNG售价为每升1.07元（0.17美元）。Ramnnarine解释说，价格应该下降到每升1.00元。

The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (NGC) will invest TTD 500 million (USD 78m) in developing phase one of a two phased five year Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) plan for all vehicles in Trinidad and Tobago. Phase one of the plan would involve the conversion of 17,500 vehicles – maxi-taxis, buses, government vehicles and high mileage vehicles to CNG.

Minister of Energy and Energy Affairs, Kevin Ramnarine explained at a post-cabinet news conference that the cost for the conversion of the vehicles would be covered by the NGC and there will be no cost to state agencies. To implement this, the Minister said a subsidiary company of the NGC would be created.

The second phase of the project, which has not been approved by Cabinet as yet, would involve the construction of 22 CNG stand-alone stations and the installation of CNG pumps in existing stations.

Ramnarine noted that previous plans to implement CNG fuel had not borne fruit for various reasons; however the government was intent on reducing the cost of fuel subsidies (2012 fuel subsidy was $404 billion (USD 63b)) and increasing export earnings, freeing up funds for health and education programs and other national requirements.

The Minister said his country has a “significant gas reserve”. He also explained that when both phases come on stream the price of CNG would also be reduced. Currently, CNG is priced at $1.07 per liter (USD 0.17). Ramnnarine explained that price should drop to $1.00 per liter.
