Adeayworld Energy Limited has partnered with the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) to manufacture and distribute compressed natural gas (CNG) kits across Nigeria.
Aiming to enhance the adoption of alternative fuel sources and reduce dependence on petrol and diesel, Prince Adeleke, the CEO of Adeayworld Energy, revealed that the company has already secured a deal with Zhejiang Sinray Electronics Co. Ltd, a leading Chinese manufacturer of CNG kits.
He assured that the kits would meet international standards and have been certified by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) after rigorous evaluation.
“Adeayworld Energy Limited has since signed a partnership with Zhejiang Sinray Electronics Co. Ltd, one of the leading manufacturers of CNG kits in China. The aim is to ensure that kits of international standard are manufactured and distributed across Nigeria. The Chinese company and its kits have also been approved by the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) in line with the International Standard Organisation (ISO) after rigorous assessment,” Adeleke stated.
The collaboration aligns with the federal government’s Presidential Initiative on CNG (P-ICNG), which seeks to promote cleaner energy sources and lessen the financial burden of fuel costs on Nigerians. With the increase in the availability of CNG kits, the initiative aims to enhance fuel efficiency, support economic diversification, and reduce carbon emissions.
According to Khalil Halilu, executive vice-chairman of NASENI, the partnership with Adeayworld Energy Limited is a big step in expanding Nigeria’s energy infrastructure. He noted the economic and environmental benefits of transitioning to CNG, describing it as a practical and necessary solution in the country’s energy sector.
“The partnership with NASENI will significantly scale the adoption of CNG technology in Nigeria. It will not only enhance the profitability of participating businesses but contribute to the success of the presidential initiative on CNG,” Halilu said.
Beyond its ability to boost the economy, this initiative is expected to create jobs, improve energy security, and make CNG more accessible and affordable for businesses and individual consumers.
The introduction of locally manufactured CNG kits will also reduce the cost of vehicle conversions, making it easier for transport operators to switch from petrol and diesel to natural gas.
Earlier this year, the government announced plans to collaborate with private companies to establish a CNG kit manufacturing hub in Ajaokuta, Kogi State. Again, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) and its private sector partners recently launched the construction of five mini-gas plants, which will collectively supply 97 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.
These are all part of the Gas Revolution Agenda (GRA), aimed at making Nigeria a leading company in the natural gas sector.
