WHY USE natural gas ?

Natural gas is an environmentally-friendly fossil fuel extracted from decomposed plant and animal matter found in rock, deep in the earth. Natural gas is the earth's naturally produced combustible gas and is an effective and efficient energy resource.

Egoli Gas reticulates natural gas directly to your premises via an established, safe, 1200km gas network in the greater Johannesburg metropolitan area. We have been efficiently reticulating gas since 1892 to the domestic, central water, multi-dwellings, hospitality and industrial markets.
