🚦 Scene 1: The Big Picture
Imagine standing at a busy highway where cars, buses, and taxis line up—not for petrol or diesel, but for **Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)**. This is the future of clean energy transport. Governments are pushing for greener fuels, fleets are switching, and entrepreneurs are seizing the opportunity. Starting a CNG pump business in 2026 is a lucrative opportunity for entrepreneurs worldwide, especially in countries promoting green energy and sustainable transport.
