To commence the pilot project of employing “One City Bus and One Truck” initiative, the partners met with key stakeholders to introduce Clean and Environmentally Sustainable Transportation (CEST) programme. “We are also calling on all stakeholders to join us as we make this technology transfer in utilization of Nigerian Natural Gas for transportation to happen in the next one year. “Powergas believes in natural gas as a fuel that can be used to power a whole lot more at a much lower cost. Natural gas is a viable cleaner alternative fuel to PMS/AGO as it produces fewer emissions and the running cost of vehicles is around 30-40 per cent less”, he said. Nigeria flares as much gas as it imports diesel and petrol, and with Powergas’ Flare Gas Recovery Project, the flared gas will be turned into fuel that can power NGV vehicles.
