Improving CNG Fuel Use in Transportation Sector: Strategic Option Development Approach

Energy is one of the main pillars of the economic cycle. The environmental pollution caused by the consumption of gasoline and diesel fuel, the problems and limitations of supplying and supplying fuel within the country, moving towards self-sufficiency in the supply of gasoline and diesel fuel, reducing government spending against income and also allocating macro subsidies to keep their prices low for Increasing satisfaction and public welfare are among the government's concerns. In recent years, the use of alternative fuels, in particular CNG, has attracted the attention of the government in the transportation sector. The purpose of this research is mapping the mapping to improve the use of CNG fuel in the transportation sector using the Strategic Option Development and Analysis. Experts and stakeholders selected based on the job title, work experience, degree of education from professional experts and executives in the management of the CNG project, managers, experts and specialists of the automotive dual car manufacturing company, the companies producing parts of the gas system and the conversion of workshops of automobiles Diesel fuel and CNG equipment manufacturers, CNG locators, taxi organization (consumer representative) and postgraduate students (graduate and postgraduate degrees). The research data are provided through interviews with this experts and stakeholders, and finalized maps using the Explorer Decision software were designed and analyzed. D As a result, 18 effective factors were identified. Based on the results, the desire to use CNG fuel instead of gasoline, CNG sustainable development and the development of a CNG vision document are key issues for improving the use of CNG fuel in the transportation sector. Finally, according to the outcomes of the maps and expert opinions, effective and strategic alternatives, such as the elaboration of a long-term plan for the country's fuel basket, the release or determination of the appropriate rate for the price of all fuels, the provision of targeted facilities for the supply of CNG fuel, continuous advertising And influential, and strategies for achieving these goals were proposed for policy makers.
