Korea's environment Ministry wants more CNG, less diesel

Diesel Fuel News, July 22, 2002

The plan announced last week would replace 20,000 diesel charter buses, 7,800 cross-country buses and 2,200 express buses with compressed natural gas (CNG), according to a report from Chosun Ilbo (Korea). About 10% of South Korea's metropolitan buses have converted to CNG. The Ministry was silent on any clean-diesel option, which would include the ULSD used during the World Cup football (soccer) tournament last month.

Heavy government subsidies would pay for the high cost of CNG buses, the report said.
