Sabah Offers Compressed Natural Gas Via Virtual Pipeline System


What the heck is a ‘virtual pipeline system’? Do you get virtual gas for your virtual car, and pay in virtual ringgit? Or is this part of WoW or Second Life?

Dateline 2012-07-19:

Sabah became the first state in Malaysia to offer compressed natural gas (CNG) via a virtual pipeline system.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said the approach undertaken by Sabah Energy Corporation (SEC) would enable a wide spectrum of users to benefit from the project.

“It (project) is accessible to users who are located up to 70km from SEC’s station at the Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park.

    Hi Wata,
    They transfer the CNG from Sepanggar Bay to CNG stations/factories via fleets. Same method we used to tranport fuel from KVDT to petrol stations.
    They used technology from Argentina called GALILEO.
    The initial plan started since 2009, and its only been approved now.
