Compressed natural gas (CNG) has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional diesel engines.
Now that gasoline prices have soared, it has become imperative to consider gas as a meaningful alternative
CNG vehicles have many advantages, such as low operating costs and long engine life.
In the ongoing quest for sustainable and healthy transportation, compressed natural gas (CNG) has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional diesel engines.
CNG stands out as an efficient solution that not only burns cleaner than gasoline, but also generates more revenue for generators and millions of vehicles on Nigerian roads. CNG vehicles have many advantages over their diesel counterparts. Source Xinhua: UGC
CNG vehicles have many advantages over their diesel counterparts, from reduced greenhouse gas emissions to reduced operating costs and extended engine life. Company Limited (NNPCL) has announced that it has entered into an alliance with Nipco Gas Limited to establish and operate a network of consolidated natural gas plants across the country. One of the benefits of natural gas pipelines is that they have a low environmental impact. Compared to diesel engines, natural gas plants produce fewer greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter.
This reduction in emissions improves air quality, reduces climate change and helps combat the environmental problems of global warming.
Profitability
Natural gas pipelines offer a cost-effective alternative to diesel in the long term. Compressed natural gas is generally less expensive than gasoline, resulting in significant fuel cost savings.
In addition, natural gas engines typically have lower maintenance costs due to cleaner combustion and reduced engine wear, resulting in significant savings over the life of the vehicle.
Abundant and sustainable
The main component of natural gas methane, is abundant in many parts of the world and Nigeria.
This abundant wealth makes oil supplies more stable and reduces dependence on foreign oil margins, thus improving energy security.
Also, because natural gas is a cleaner fuel, its use is better aligned with sustainable development goals.
Longevity of the engine
Natural gas is a cleaner fuel than gasoline, resulting in lower carbon footprints and lower engine temperatures during combustion.
This results in less wear and tear on CNG engines, thus extending engine life.
This trend makes methane-powered vehicles a sound investment for businesses and individuals looking for sustainable and convenient transportation solutions.
noise reduction
Natural gas generators produce lower operating noise than traditional diesel generators.
A lighter control ignition system reduces engine vibration and noise, resulting in a quieter and more pleasant driving experience for passengers and pedestrians.
In conclusion, the advantages of using Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engines over diesel engines are clear and significant.
According to federal government data, there are currently over 9,000 licensed units in Nigeria suitable for specialized autogas fuel transportation infrastructure.
Gas stations add 7,000 gas stations to other low-cost gas station listings
In related news, Legit.ng had earlier reported that another 7,000 petrol station owners across Nigeria had registered their businesses to participate in automotive gas delivery schemes, including natural gas both compressed ( CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for vehicles.
Expert Asian conversion companies have traveled to Nigeria to facilitate the conversion of vehicles to autogas, LPG, LNG and CNG.
Given the growing interest in automotive fuel distribution, fuel suppliers will partner with these Asian specialists.
The move continued with other petrol stations affiliated to Petroleum Retailers Association of Nigeria (PETROBAN) signing up to achieve the same goal.
