Sinoma Cargo International Nigeria Ltd. has fueled their LNG-powered vehicle at the Greenville LNG filling station in Sagamu, Ogun state. Greenville is a pioneer LNG production and distribution company in Nigeria that uses an innovative mobile pipeline system to deliver fuel to its customers across the country with LNG-fueled trucks
Greenville is the first company in Nigeria to operate its fleet of trucks/tankers using LNG as fuel. It currently operates a fleet of more than 500 trucks which are all 100% powered by LNG. The company’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.
With five 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 natural gas, which is locally produced and a cheaper alternative than the more expensive, imported petrol or diesel.
Sinoma Cargo International Nigeria Ltd. has purchased a few LNG-powered trucks to start. There are other companies who have procured a few LNG vehicles from different OEMs.
Greenville LNG has five LNG stations strategically located across Nigeria: at Sagamu, Ogun state; Rumuji, Rivers state; Koton Karfe, Kogi state; Kakau, Kaduna state; and Ikpoba LGA (Benin) in Edo state, reported the newspaper Independent.
