NLNG pledges more local cooking gas supply

He stated that NLNG currently supplies almost 40 per cent of Nigeria’s LPG demand in-country, delivering over 400,000 tonnes.

‘’Our company’s focus on the domestic market solidifies its reputation as a top-tier global player. Also, by channelling the LPG, we are invariably displacing charcoal and wood burning, which release pollutants that cause about 1.6 million premature deaths annually,” he said.

The MD NLGN reiterated that developing nations like Nigeria would need huge investments in infrastructure development to drive their energy transition efficiently and equitably.

Mshelbila worried that the dearth of quality infrastructure like insufficient pipelines, storage, and regasification facilities, high costs of importing LNG, and energy poverty like limited access to affordable energy are key issues that must be addressed.

He affirmed that by addressing these challenges and leveraging on solutions, emerging economies can widen access to natural gas and support a lower-carbon energy transition and energy inclusion.
