tate-run gas distributor PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) plans to team up with the Association of Fuel Station Owners (Hiswana Migas) to establish 60 gas stations in the capital city to accelerate the conversion from fossil fuels to gas. 
PGN spokesman Irwan Andri Atmanto said the 60 gas stations would be built at existing fuel stations to help reduce costs.
"The gas stations will be built in existing fuel stations, which are close to our gas-pipe facilities," Irwan said Monday as quoted by tribunnews.com.
The project is estimated to cost around Rp 1.2 trillion (US$100.89 million) in investment.
He said he hoped the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) would facilitate the projects.
PGN and Hiswana Migas are currently discussing the details of the business program.
"If the plan runs smoothly, we will be able to install pipes, modify the fuel stations and establish the gas stations in three months," he said, adding that the time line excluded the procurement of new equipment and operating permits to run the gas stations. (nfo)
