Greenville LNG, a pioneer Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production and distribution company in Nigeria, using an innovative virtual pipeline system to deliver LNG to its customers across the country with LNG-fueled trucks, has announced that Sinoma Cargo International Nigeria Ltd. has fueled their LNG fueled prime mover at the Greenville LNG retail station in Sagamu, Ogun state.
Greenville LNG is the first company in Nigeria to operate its fleet of trucks/ tankers using LNG as fuel. Greenville currently operates a fleet of more than 500 trucks which are all 100% powered by LNG.
Natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel, therefore vehicles running on LNG produce lower levels of toxic emissions and air pollution than equivalent diesel engines.
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions are reduced by 40-50% and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions are reduced by approximately 80%.
Greenville has 5 L/CNG refueling stations completed and operational, and an additional 42 under construction, long haul trucks, and small vehicles in major cities in Nigeria will soon have the choice to completely switch to L/CNG which is locally produced and a cheaper alternative than the more expensive, imported petrol or diesel.
Greenville’s innovative logistics approach has improved access to clean and affordable fuel for automotive uses across Nigeria and has become a driver of the Federal Government’s Gas Expansion policy and Decade of Gas initiatives.
