Greenville LNG has announced an ambitious plan to construct 50 Liquefied Compressed Natural Gas (LCNG) hubs across Nigeria within the next seven months.
This initiative is part of the company’s broader nationwide distribution strategy for 2025, aimed at expanding access to cleaner and more efficient energy solutions.
According to the timeline revealed by Greenville, the first 25 hubs are scheduled for completion by March 2025, with the remaining 25 expected to be operational by June 2025.
The announcement was made by Mr. Eddy Van-Den Broeke, Chairman of Greenville LNG, during an on-the-spot assessment of the Maiduguri Emergency Power Project (MEPP) by the Minister of Petroleum (Gas), Rt. Hon. Ekperikpe Ekpo.
The Minister was accompanied by Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd., and other distinguished guests.
Representing Mr. Van-Den Broeke at the event was Alhaji Zubairu Ibrahim Bayi, Director of Intergovernmental Relations.
During the presentation, Alhaji Bayi emphasized Greenville’s groundbreaking strategy to distribute domestic liquefied natural gas to every corner of the country.
This initiative, he noted, aligns closely with President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s Pi-CNG initiative, which seeks to provide clean and affordable gas nationwide.
Advisors Reports highlighted that this development is supported by Greenville’s efficient virtual pipeline system, which comprises more than 700 specialized LNG-powered gas delivery trucks.
These trucks are capable of covering distances of 1,200 to 1,800 kilometers without refueling, ensuring seamless and reliable gas delivery across Nigeria.
Greenville’s Rumuji Gas Plant in Rivers State serves as the hub for its sustainable and affordable LNG and CNG energy supplies.
The company’s innovative distribution efforts have already demonstrated significant progress.
Recently, Greenville successfully fueled Nigerian Railway Corporation locomotive engines with liquefied natural gas at the Idu Abuja Railway Station, enabling operations on the Abuja-Kaduna railway line.
Simultaneously, in Lagos, Greenville pioneered the use of LNG to fuel Ekeson Transport buses at the company’s terminal.
