States to look into securing supply of hydrocarbon fuel
PROPOSALS to help secure the future supply of hydrocarbon fuels to the island are being developed.
The Hydrocarbon Supply Programme, announced by the States yesterday, will review the security of Guernsey's current supply chain and make recommendations on how best to secure the island's long-term fuel needs. It will include the import of petrol, diesel, kerosene, aviation fuel and heavy oil.
Meetings are to take place with key stakeholders as part of the first phase of the programme in order to gather data from parties that have an interest in, or influence over, the fuel supply chain.
States Trading Assets managing director Richard Evans, who is the senior responsible officer for the work, said part of the programme would be to understand what the demand for fuel was now and how that might change in the future.
