MADEGASCAR sets out to increase the use of gas-driven vehicles, powered by both natural gas and biogas, by addressing both consumers and providers. Before being prepared to change their vehicles consumers must be convinced of the advantages of gas-powered cars. This project will promote the benefits of such cars to fleet owners, car dealers, local authorities and fuel station owners using training seminars and promotional campaigns. The project will also look at increasing the supply of biogas and integrating it into gas networks. It will undertake a series of activities designed to strengthen the supply and distribution infrastructure for biogas and natural gas. These include plans for expanding fuel stations and feasibility studies for biogas plants.
