The Cabinet on Sunday approved the 2025 Gas Bill, paving the way for its referral to the lower house of parliament for enactment under constitutional procedures. The new legislation sets out a modern framework to regulate the gas and hydrogen derivatives sector and strengthen the country’s energy infrastructure. It covers a range of gases, including natural gas, biogas, biomethane and hydrogen, reflecting flexibility to align with the global shift toward clean energy. The bill governs core gas activities import, transport, distribution, storage and wholesale and retail sales under an integrated system that allows shared or self-use of facilities. It seeks to enable large-scale and strategic economic projects, encourage investment through a clear regulatory environment and streamlined licensing, and promote expansion of transport, distribution and storage networks.
