Overview

HPCL has always focused on providing its customers with their demands and needs. The world is now developing towards greener fuels and HPCL is walking the same path hand in hand

Clean air is an essential component for ensuring healthy lives and ecosystem. The rapid expansion of the economy and migration of population from rural India to the urban part of the country is a major contributing factor for the current deterioration of ambient air quality, particularly in Metropolitan Cities in the country. Natural Gas and Renewables Energy have been identified as a cleaner source of energy to combat such poor air quality.

Natural gas burns cleaner than other fossil fuels, producing half the carbon dioxide as coal and about a third less than oil. It also emits fewer amounts of toxic chemicals like nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide. Further because of its higher fuel efficiency, cost-effectiveness, reliable and safe supply arrangement Piped Natural Gas (PNG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is one of the preferred sources of energy.

What is Natural Gas, LNG, CNG & LNG?

Natural gas is a fossil fuel energy source. Natural gas contains many different compounds. The largest component of natural gas is methane, a compound with one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms (CH4). Natural gas also contains smaller amounts other hydrocarbon such as ethane , propane , butane etc , and nonhydrocarbon gases, such as carbon dioxide and water vapour. Natural gas is used as a fuel and to make materials and chemicals.

PNG, CNG and LNG are different forms of natural gas at different temperatures and pressures.

1. Piped natural gas (PNG) is generally subject to atmospheric temperature, but pressures in Cross Country Pipelines are limited to less than 90 kg/cm2 and less than 49 kg/cm2 in City Gas Distribution Network.

2. Compressed natural gas (CNG) refers to natural gas used as a fuel for vehicles, in the gaseous state compressed to a pressure of 200 to 250 kg/cm2.

3. LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is the liquid form of natural gas, usually intended for transporting large quantities of gas via ships, where cross country pipelines are not feasible.

HPCL supplies Natural Gas in all forms to automotive customers, domestic households, commercial establishments and to the large industrial units.

We are building LNG Regasification Terminal, Cross Country Gas Pipelines, City Gas Distribution Networks, LNG Dispensing Stations to reach to our end consumers.

Section 2

Liquefied Natural Gas

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is Natural Gas cooled at approx. -162 °C (-260 °F) volume reduction 1/600th the volume of natural gas is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive.

HPCL, through its 100% subsidiary HP LNG Limited is building 5 MMTPA LNG Regasification Terminal at Chhara Port, Gir Somnath District, Gujarat.

The terminal will be utilised to import LNG from International Market to meet requirement of Natural Gas in HPCL Refineries and for marketing to downstream customers.

The Terminal will be connected with GSPL High Pressure Network. This network is further connected with other Cross Country Pipelines viz. GAIL Network, PIL Network, GIGL Network.

Section 3

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is one of the feasible alternate economical and environment friendly fossil fuel for the medium & Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDV). To kick start the development of LNG fuelled based transport ecosystem in the country, thrust has been given by Govt of India to build LNG filling stations along the golden quadrilateral.

HPCL has planned to set up 11 LNG Dispensing Stations in Phase 1 along the golden quadrilateral.

Section 4

HPCL is Building City Gas Distribution (CGD) Network for supplying CNG, PNG , L-CNG to Automotive Customers, Domestic Households, Commercial Establishments and Industrial Units.

HPCL commenced its gas business through CNG retailing in 2005 in Ahmedabad City. HPCL continued its journey to build CGD Infrastructure in various other parts of the country through its Joint Venture Companies and independently.

In addition to Ahmedabad CNG Network, HPCL is building City Gas Distribution Networks in 12 Geographical Areas in 7 states across 36 Districts in India.

Details of Geographical Areas are as follows

Section 5

HPCL commenced Gas Marketing to Industrial Customers with moderate volume during 2016-17. In subsequent years' number of customers have been increased multi fold. Gas is supplied from HPCL's portfolio sourced from Indigenous producers and imported LNG/RLNG to offer gas to competitive price at flexible terms and conditions.

Our esteemed customers are from various sectors such as urea and non-urea manufacturing Fertilizer Plants, Refineries, Petchem Plants, CGD Companies, Power Plants, Glass and Ceramic Industries, Steel industries.
