The Nigeria, liquefied Natural Gas Limited, NLNG has approved the supply of 100 per cent of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (butane and propane) produced by the company to the Nigerian market.
The agency and its Board of Directors in a statement said it would prioritise the domestic market for 100 per cent of its butane (cooking gas) production, noting that it supplied its first propane cargo into the domestic market three months ago.
It added that it had developed a system to sustainably supply propane for usage in cooking gas blending as well as in agro-allied, autogas, power and petrochemical sectors of the Nigerian economy to further deepen gas utilisation in the country.
The statement also explained that the initiatives were designed to increase cooking gas availability, diversify its uses and support the Federal Government’s Decade of Gas initiative.
Managing Director of the Agency Philip Mshelbila said the announcement marked the company’s strong commitment to the continued growth of the domestic LPG market and its passion to increase utilisation of one of the most versatile energy sources in the world.
