Nigeria launched a plan to transport LNG to regions not linked by pipeline. Under the new plan, NNPC, Total, and the Gas Aggregation Company Nigeria Ltd (GACN) would supply gas to a small LNG plant run by indigenous firm, Greenville LNG.
Greenville would, in turn, deliver the gas to industries and companies around the nation using trucks powered by LNG.
“Greenville will transport products with specialized LNG trucks, which have the capacity to travel about 1,000 km on LNG before refueling,” Morgan Okwoche, GACN Managing Director said.
Oil Minister Emmanuel Kachikwu said that investors in the country have been looking for a way to access and distribute gas in the absence of pipelines. “This is not to take the need away from the pipelines, we are going to continue to work on providing pipelines.”
