Where the GDP grows modestly.
• And people must solve the problem of mobility.
• Governments must keep the costs mobillity and
minimize the problem of environmental pollution.
• There are ongoing plans promotioning NGVs.
• Asia Pacific is adopting the Europe program of 2020 for Asia.
• Egypt, Iran, India, Korea, Phillipines impulse the use
of NGVs.
• China has already started the operation of a gas
pipeline to Shangai and is committed to having
“Clean Buses”.
• The European Blue Corridor Project and its similar
bioceanic corridor in the Mercosur Area.
• Argentina, Brasil y Colombia already have GNC
transported by the road system to those places not
reached by pipelines.
• As per the Earth Policy
Institute, 3M people die
every year because of air
contamination.
• That figure triplicates the
number of people who die
because of automobile
accidents.
• The cost of contamination
is, as per the WHO, 0,05
u$s/lt of diesel oil.
• And it represents, as an
instance, in China 5% of its
GDP.
• 31% more of CO2 than in 1750
• United Nations Survey Results:
– 0,6°C +-0,2 in the 20th Century
– Calamities in different areas, including Sea, Agriculture,
Fauna, Glaciers and others
– In 2003, 119 countries and the EU joined to the Kyoto
Protocol to attenuate harmful emissions.
– Carbon sequestration?
• Presenting the opportunity to the
government, businessmen,
politicians and educators.
• Determining groups of interest.
• Looking for potential investors.
• Businessmen, Chambers, automotive
companies, etc.
• Thus reaching international
organizations to elicit development,
credit lines and promotion. (WB,
Clean Air Cities, etc.)
• Elaborate a Government Policy concerning fuel substitution:
 Significant economic profits for the user.
 Environmental PROFITS resulting in clean transportation.
 Dynamics to the economy granted by an easy-saving fuel such as
CNG so as to redirect expenses.
• Notoriously, a potential market exists and it is high time to
take this opportunity.
• It is a challenge to us all and thus we have to take it up.
• It is not the task of just a few people but a commitment to all
the ones who are involved in environmental protection issues.
