In 2015-2020, Azerbaijan consumed 86 million cubic meters of compressed natural gas (CNG), a source in SOCAR Petroleum told Report.

During this period, CNG consumers saved 31 million manats ($18.2 million). At the same time, emissions of greenhouse gases into the country’s atmosphere decreased by 44,000 tons. For over a year now, SOCAR Petroleum and 189 TAXI have continued their joint Eco Taxi project.

CNG-powered equipment was installed in the company’s cars within the framework of the cooperation.

As part of the project, taxis covered 500,000 km during the year and transported 17,000 customers. Unlike traditional fuel, CNG consumption by taxis decreased 2.5 times. For example, a cab running on gasoline spends 650 manats ($382.5) on fuel per month, while a cab running on CNG spends 250 manats ($147.1). Thus, every month the amount of savings makes 400 manats ($235.4).

Moreover, the volume of greenhouse gases emitted into the country’s atmosphere decreased by 11 tons over the year. This figure is many times higher for other types of fuel. In urban and public transport, CNG fuel is one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly fuels.

SOCAR Petroleum owns a network for the sale of car fuel and petroleum products, consisting of 38 filling stations and 11 oil terminals. A leader in CNG use as a vehicle fuel, SOCAR Petroleum has a terminal for its production and sale. The cost of one cubic meter of this environmentally friendly fuel is 45 qepiks (26 cents), and the consumer saves 4.5 manats ($2.6) for every 100 kilometers

Former two-weight world champion Conor McGregor was left stunned on his return to the UFC as Dustin Poirier claimed victory in their rematch at UFC 257, according to BBC Sport.

McGregor came out of retirement for a third time to face fellow 32-year-old Poirier at Abu Dhabi’s Fight Island.

And although the Irishman edged the first round, Poirier unleashed a flurry of punches to seal a technical knockout two minutes 32 seconds into round two.

“I’m gutted, it’s a tough one to swallow,” said McGregor.

“His leg kicks were good, my leg was dead and I wasn’t as comfortable as I needed to be. I have to dust it off and come back.”

Poirier admitted McGregor had won the mind games before they stepped into the octagon for their first clash – a featherweight bout in September 2014 – and the American was stopped inside 106 seconds.

That set “the Notorious” on course for global stardom. He became the UFC’s first simultaneous two-weight champion before facing Floyd Mayweather in one of the richest bouts in boxing history in 2017.

Despite having just two UFC fights since, losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018 and beating Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone in 40 seconds last January, McGregor seemed to start well.

He survived an early takedown in front of about 2,000 fans at the 18,000-capacity Etihad Arena, opened before the UFC’s third stint on Fight Island, and pinned Poirier against the fence for most of the first round, landing a few shoulder strikes like those that did so much damage against Cerrone.

McGregor said before the fight that, although he has achieved fame and fortune, he is still motivated to build a “highlights reel like a movie” in the UFC, and he tagged Poirier with a couple of right-hand shots.
