Naturelgaz, a subsidiary of GIH, is Türkiye’s leading non-piped natural gas (CNG: Compressed Natural Gas/LNG: Liquefied Natural Gas) distributor in terms of nationwide plant infrastructure and bulk CNG sales volume. The company focuses on the sales and distribution of bulk CNG and LNG to industrial and commercial customers – such as factories, power generators, hotels, asphalt plants – in addition to districts and towns (households) not connected to a natural gas pipeline (Citygas) due to economic or geographic constraints. Naturelgaz also supplies CNG primarily for heavy-duty vehicles and provides operational services to natural gas wells that are not able to connect to the national pipeline network.
a) Bulk (Industrial) CNG and LNG
With its CNG plants around Türkiye, Naturelgaz supplies natural gas to factories operating in many different sectors, such as chemicals, metals and mining, food processing and building materials, as well as power generators, hotels, asphalt plants and public institutions that use natural gas for heating purposes. Bulk (Industrial) LNG is used in similar business lines as bulk CNG, mainly by industrial and commercial customers not connected to a natural gas pipeline network due to economic or geographic constraints. LNG is distributed to those customers via LNG road tankers and made ready-to-use through storage tanks and vaporizers installed at customer sites.
b) Citygas
In City Gas business line, Naturelgaz supplies nonpiped natural gas to distribution companies in order to meet the natural gas needs of districts and towns with no pipeline connection due to economic and geographic reasons. City Gas operations are carried out with CNG or LNG, depending on the distance of CNG filling plants to districts and towns where the natural gas will be used, road conditions, and usage quantities. Naturelgaz has been using the non-piped natural gas system to supply natural gas to districts and towns since 2017
c) Auto CNG
In the Auto CNG business line, Naturelgaz targets heavy duty vehicle segments, such as logistics trucks, garbage trucks and buses, that are most suitable for Auto CNG use. Naturelgaz cooperates with OEM vehicle producers to expand the number of CNG vehicle options in Türkiye. In addition, during the transition process, Naturelgaz cooperates with conversion companies to offer alternative solutions to its customers.
d) Well CNG
There is a clear need in the market for CNG in gas wells with uncertain reserves, or where the closest gas pipeline is in a remote location and the connection is not economically viable. Since 2014, Naturelgaz has supplied CNG equipment and operational services to gas wells.
