The CNG Lite storage system combines adsorbed natural gas with low-pressure technology. The set up is primarily aimed at fuelling two and three wheeled vehicles. The tanks are designed to store the natural gas on a working pressure of around 6MPa with a capacity of 5 to 10 liters. A set of Energtek tanks is designed to provide a driving range of about 100 kilometers or 62 miles.

The team up between the developer and the government of the Philippines can be traced back to 2007. The Philippine Department of Energy requested the project from Energtek as it sees the viability of the natural gas harvested from its Malampaya Gas Reserve for consumption of the common means of transportation.

The two and three wheel vehicle market is seen as the largest growing market in the world. At present, there are about 300 million units of two and three wheelers all over the globe. Asia gets bulk of the share with 200 million roaming the streets on a daily basis.

The Malampaya Offshore Natural Gas Reserve is currently the largest local source of energy for the Philippines. The government is looking at the possibilities of harnessing this supply to support the big public transport sector.

The Malampaya field was discovered in 1992 around 80 kilometers off the shore of Palawan in the South China Sea. The production from the field started in 2001. The US Energy Information Administration estimates that the Malampaya reserve holds condensates of about 85 million barrels and about 2.3 to 4.4 Tcf of gas.
