Iraq’s Oil Ministry has put a new Autogas station into operation as well as a conversion workshop to install LPG systems in Baghdad. The Deputy Oil Minister for Gas Affairs, Ezzat Saber, noted that the project is “a crucial step” to address the rising demand for Autogas.

According to the Ministry’s press release, both projects rank among the largest in Iraq’s Autogas sector. The Sumood Model LPG Installation Workshop includes eight platforms for vehicle conversions, while the Filling Station features 12 filling dispensers capable of fuelling 288 vehicles per hour.

“We oversee the entire process, from design and engineering to the operational launch of both the workshop and filling station,” said Anmar Ali Hussein, Director General of the General Company for Gas Filling and Services.

He also added: “The facility is placed at a strategic location to fulfil Baghdad residents’ LPG needs, particularly in the capital’s southern entrance.”

Finally, Hussein announced an initiative to help drivers interested in installing LPG systems in their vehicles. “The system itself is priced at 500,000 dinars, divided conveniently into five monthly instalments of 100,000 dinars each paid via POS,” he informed.
