NNPC Targets Customers Outside Pipeline Network With Mini LNG Projects

Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) is about establishing some mini Liquified Natural Gas plants.

The company is embarking on the projects in collaboration with its partners which will see the development of five mini Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants in Ajaokuta, Kogi State.

Mini LNG is a small-scale gas plant that facilitates the production, storage and distribution of liquefied natural gas in smaller quantities through trucks with the presence of refuelling stations at strategic points.  The model ensures that natural gas is delivered to last-mile customers who are outside of the existing pipeline network.

The Mele Kyari-led NNPC listed the five mini-LNG plants as PRIME LNG, NGML/Gasnexus LNG, BUA LNG, Highland LNG, and LNG Arete). The NNPC said the groundbreaking ceremony was themed: ‘From Gas to Prosperity: Catalysing Nigeria’s Economic Growth’, adding that the company was shaping a sustainable energy future for Nigeria.

“Join us for the groundbreaking ceremony of 5 Mini LNG Plants (PRIME LNG, NGML/Gasnexus LNG, BUA LNG, Highland LNG, and LNG Arete) as we take an important step towards Gas to Prosperity: Catalysing Nigeria’s Economic Growth Together, we are shaping a sustainable energy future for Nigeria”, it said.
