TPDC will partner with Pan Africa Energy Tanzania Ltd to do this, initially targeting 200 vehicles, 100 households, 10 hotels and institutions as well as three CNG stations.

Tanzania plans to spend $55.1 billion to connect homes, industries and institutions in Dar es Salaam to a natural gas system.

A 2007 pilot project proposed that a natural gas network that includes three trunk pipelines of 65 kilometres and 15 compressed natural gas (CNG) stations be set up to meet this need.
