To address supply gaps in the domestic market for liquefied petroleum gas , otherwise known as cooking gas, the Nigeria LNG Limited , has said it will supply 100 per cent of its LPG production to the Nigerian market.
According to the NLNG, the initiatives are designed to increase LPG availability in Nigeria, diversify its uses and support the Federal Government’s decade of gas initiative. NLNG is currently the highest single supplier of LPG into the domestic market, with an estimated 400,000 metric tonnes supplied in 2021.
According to Mshelbila, “gas, as the cleanest of the fossil fuels, has become an essential energy source to be reckoned with during this energy transition period. Other countries are revolutionising their energy industry to cut down on carbon emissions drastically. Nigeria should not be left out in this drive, considering its abundant gas resources.
Why exporting cooking gas in first place when domestic supply is not enough.
