-- 根據《雅加達環球報》週四報道，印尼正在測試壓縮天然氣（CNG）作為液化石油氣（LPG）在家庭烹飪中的替代品，此舉旨在降低進口依賴度並減輕國家補貼成本。 能源部長巴赫利爾·拉哈達利亞表示，該計畫仍處於試驗階段。當局目前正在評估3公斤裝的CNG鋼瓶，並專注於其安全標準和設計是否適合家庭使用。據報道，政府希望此舉能緩解該國對進口LPG的嚴重依賴。 印尼每年進口約860萬噸LPG，造成巨大的財政負擔。該新聞媒體指出，雖然CNG已在12公斤至20公斤的大容量鋼瓶中使用，但如何使其適應家庭規模的使用仍然是關鍵挑戰。 （市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源，但可能包含傳聞和推測。準確性無法保證。）
