The removal of fuel subsidies in the petroleum sector in Nigeria has led to a drastic increase in petroleum-product prices by 200%, creating a rapid increase in transportation costs and contributing to a high cost of living and severe inflation. The authors write that Nigeria can leverage liquefied natural gas (LNG) and, by extension, liquefied compressed natural gas (LCNG) to mitigate these issues. The complete paper presents the description of the role of LNG as a transitional energy source for automotive transportation in Nigeria.
Potential of LCNG in the Nigerian Transport Sector
Realizing the potential of LCNG requires addressing infrastructure challenges, advancing technology, and fostering supportive regulatory frameworks to encourage investment and adoption. As efforts to reduce emissions and combat climate change intensify, LNG is likely to become an increasingly important component of the global transportation mix.
