he argentine energetic
crises of the last years
cost several damages,
and their consequences are at
plain sight. One of them is the
fall of oil & gas production
that caused the country to lose
its self-sufficiency and had to
resort to liquefied gas (LNG)
and fuel imports. Moreover, it
would cause a balance-of-trade
surplus in the sector through
history, besides the 2011 defi-
cit, and the same could happen
again this year. In fact, the sce-
nario has complicated nuances,
and in this scene, GNC Galileo
presents as a solution thanks
to its innovating products. As
we always tell the main charac-
ters of the argentine energetic
system, we own technologies
that could solve the problems
of this sector, says the CEO
of the company, Osvaldo Del
Campo. We could become an
essentially gas country suppli-
er. This is not conditional since
we are already present in many
cities around the world. We
have a solution for each need
the gas industry requires.
More than 60 countries,
especially Southeast Asia,
East Europe, Asia and Latin-
American, use this national

CONCEPTS DEVELOPED BY THE COMPANY
A single product for
each market need
Galileo launched Nanobox for private fleets and small stations.
D
ue to its numerous CNG filling stations and the biggest
converted fleet, Argentina is considered the world`s model
reference. It is considered a country that knows how to make
best use of its ecological and economic benefits of this alternative
fuel. Within this outlook, CNG Galileo is worldwide leadership in
the sector of compressed natural gas. It is the only company that
offers a complete range of products for the CNG Industry.
Galileo`s first launched product was Microbox - a modular
CNG Station which consists of an autonomous unit. Microbox
has a special anti-explosive box which replaces concrete and with
incorporated safety systems of the plug & play kind. This system,
which only requires the gas connection and the electric grid to work,
has revolutionized the fueling stations assembly concept because it
reduces from three months to just a week the start up timing.
Another niche exploited by Galileo was particular fleets
and small CNG Stations for whom it launched Nanobox, which
is similar to a Microbox but smaller and with an incorporated
dispenser. The system comprises compression, storage, pumping
and measurement. It also guarantees, among other advantages, an
easy-quick and economic installation as well as approximately
30-250 filled cars per day and a simple-low cost maintenance
procedure.
Galileo`s product line is completed with CNG Key-in-hand
stations which consist of compression systems, modular dispensers,
gas storage equipments, kits for car conversion and pressure
regulation plants.
