Govt says proposed gas-to-shore project ‘well advanced’

Following criticisms by former Petroleum Advisor Jan Mangal about the sloth regarding a proposed natural gas- to-shore project, the government says that it “well advanced” and that there are also plans in the pipeline to engage the Private Sector.

“Dr Bynoe noted that one of those activities currently being explored is ‘bringing gas to shore’.” This, he said, is “well advanced”, the Department of Public Information (DPI) stated on Monday as it quoted the Director of the Department of Energy, Dr Mark Bynoe.

“We have a draft memorandum of understanding and a very cogent working group made up of critical players within the government. We hope to engage the private sector as well so that they can understand what the opportunities are,” Bynoe also informed.
