- NLNG has announced its plan to enter the gas supply space from July 2022
- It aims to help bridge the perennial gas-to-power challenge
The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited has announced its plan to enter the Nigerian domestic LNG supply space from July 2022. It explained that the move was part of efforts to help bridge the country’s perennial gas-to-power and gas-to-industry supply challenge.
The liquefaction company also exonerated itself from the scarcity and the rising cost of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), commonly known as cooking gas, saying the Nigerian market has not been able to take all of the 450,000 metric tons of LPG it has dedicated to the country.
The company stated this yesterday in Lagos, during an interactive session with journalists, stating that it was working to ensure that it contributes to solving Nigeria’s energy challenge from the side of LPG and LNG supplies.
In his presentation at the session, the Marketing Manager, NLNG, Mr Austin Ogbogbo, said the company would be starting its domestic LNG supply to Nigeria with an initial one million tons per annum in July 2022.
Ogbogbo said to achieve that, NLNG was constructing smaller terminals to get more LNG to the Nigerian market.
