The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) deploys five new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cascades at selected stations in Abuja to boost gas supply and improve user accessibility.
By increasing the availability of CNG, this project seeks to make refuelling more practical and effective. By actively observing customer comments and making the required modifications to optimise the system, NNPC highlights its dedication to enhancing service delivery.
According to NNPC, the deployment of these cascades is expected to ease refueling challenges and reduce waiting times for users.
“As part of our efforts to boost gas accessibility, we are deploying five CNG cascades in Abuja. This initiative will increase supply at key locations, ensuring users experience smoother and more efficient refueling,” the company states.
NNPC highlights that the deployment aligns with Nigeria’s broader strategy to promote alternative fuel solutions and reduce dependency on conventional fuels.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) serves as a more affordable and environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline and diesel. Its lower cost makes it a preferred option for mass transit and industrial use, offering significant fuel savings and improving economic efficiency.
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) recently reported a surge in CNG adoption, with vehicle conversions increasing by over 2,500% in 2024. This growth is driven by the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI), which has expanded the number of CNG-powered vehicles and trucks to approximately 50,000.
The latest deployment of cascades aligns with the Presidential CNG Initiative (PCNGI), which seeks to enhance the adoption of CNG as a cleaner and more cost-effective fuel alternative. This move is expected to strengthen energy accessibility and improve refueling efficiency at designated stations.
NNPC reiterates its dedication to promoting alternative fuel solutions that lower transportation costs and contribute to environmental sustainability. The company continues to monitor user experiences and refine its approach to ensure seamless refueling processes.
With the launch of five new CNG cascades in Abuja, NNPC advances Nigeria’s shift to more sustainable fuel sources, promotes economic growth, and expands access to cleaner energy.
