Condor Announces Signing a Cooperation Agreement With Kazakhstan’s National Railroad Operator
01 12월 2021 - 6:05AM
Condor Petroleum Inc. (“Condor” or the “Company”) (TSX: CPI), is
pleased to announce continued progress in its strategy to implement
proven North American modular liquified natural gas (“LNG”)
technologies and processes to produce Central Asia’s first LNG.
The Company has signed a Cooperation Agreement
with the Kazakhstan national railroad operator, JSC NC Kazakhstan
Temir Zholy (“KTZ”) for the implementation of a project to convert
Kazakhstan’s national freight locomotive fleet to LNG fuel. A field
demonstration project will first be conducted and upon satisfactory
results thereof the Company and KTZ intend to enter into a
long-term agreement for Condor to produce and supply LNG to KTZ as
a fuel for the national freight locomotive fleet.
KTZ operates a rail network of approximately
15,000 kilometers and a fleet of more than 700 mainline freight
locomotives. It is expected that the conversion of the locomotive
fleet to LNG fuel will materially reduce operating costs, increase
transportation speeds, reduce CO2 emissions and other particulates,
and reduce dependence on diesel fuel imports.
This project has the potential for the Company
to become the largest producer and supplier of LNG in Central Asia,
while materially contributing to the Republic of Kazakhstan’s
national initiative to decarbonize its transportation sector and
achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Condor is targeting to construct
multiple modular LNG facilities, each with the initial production
capacity of 125,000 gallons of LNG per day and expandable as the
LNG market demand increases for buses, long-haul transport trucks
and mining equipment.
This project is being implemented through a
joint task force of Condor, KTZ and JSC KazTransGas (the national
gas company of the Republic of Kazakhstan) and their
subsidiaries.
Condor is also pleased to announce that on
November 24-25, 2021, the Company participated and presented at the
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) seminar on
“Support of de-carbonization of the transportation sector in
Kazakhstan” held in Almaty, Kazakhstan. A copy of this presentation
is available on the Company’s website.
