Bros! The refineries dint go bad, the crroks in government abondoned it so that they will keep stealing from importation and subsidy.

You dint get my point, if FG wants to sincerely cut import duties and make CNG affordable and readily available, they can sincerely make our refineries work and if it starts working, no Nigerian will bother about converting their vehicle to CNG fuel.
local refineries will have to buy crude oil at market prices

Dey deceive yourself and be using lies to advertise CNG grin. Is it not same Akure i know? Did you pass through ilesha-Ife highway at all?

Even in the USA, the country we used to copy in everything, there are barely 2,000 cng refuelling stations there. Today, petrol and diesel remain efficient means of powering automobile engines. Any Nigerian who falls for this lie the way they fell for the generator would only throw away money once again.

Take it easy. I turned my gen to use gas since 2019 and it's amazing. The gen has never had fault since then till date and it's cheaper with less sound and no combustion.

Normally, where I stay, there is 24/7 free light, but when transformer misbehaves, that's what I use. Though, I have given the gen out and those people enjoy it till this day. They're scared of gas, so the mostly use fuel.

Good initiative, but your current calculations using dollar to naira is wrong, $380 to 456,000 naira meaning a dollar is 1200, currently dollar at black market is 1140 to 1150



When you are trying to prempt cost or make a budget its best you over estimate than to under estimate.

When you over estimate the worst that can happen you achieve your goal and save back the change, my 2cent

Lol. If you understand that as long as there is no subsidy on fuels (petrol, diesel and kerosine), the price difference when it is imported and when it is refined locally won't be much.

What type of splitting hairs is this?

What is this difference btw 1140 and 1200?

Or are you saying that there is a force that will ensure Dollar cannot touch 1200?

Some people will always look for a spec on your white.

Sigh

It seems like a good alternative but the problem is that you can't win in Nigeria. Once the awareness is created and people convert their vehicles to run on CNG, the government will come up with one excuse to jack up the price of CNG.

FG should do more work and less talk on this CNG training and installation kits.

This initiative can create 100k jobs if properly implemented

Can be very risky, if you are caught in a traffic jam with the heat condition

I get your point quite alright. They deliberately ran it aground.
It pays to build new one than to fix that. That’s what we are preaching and refinery engineers and technicians have told governments this but somebody somewhere still goes ahead to maintain a refinery that is not serviceable.

All the OEM equipment for the refineries are no longer being manufactured because the manufacturers have stopped spares and service supports for those engines and parts. No manufacturer supports more than 10 years after sales. So the refinery is a junk of old scrap.

Any new equipment they bring there is not from OEM and it will breakdown quickly. Most of them won’t have warranties.

They are only using the refineries to ste.al money.

The 14 trillion Naira they have spent in ‘maintaining’ then could build modern and very hi-tech refinery.

Now to your topic.Speaking of incentive,I read somewhere where the govt plans to subsidy the costs abi the installations to 300k.Maybe I’m not to cleared on that.And most importantly,like you said,Nigerians are versatile and all we need as a country to move to the top on top speed is a transparent leaders.

CNG sells for between 200-270 per SCM .

100per natural gas generators are used by e.g the RCCG to supply power to the camp and environs, another example is BHN in ikorodu generates and supplies power to local factories in ikorodu using GAS generators powered by CNG.

Presently most serious manufacturers run their generators on CNG

Only novice will call you a lier ...I once worked at a power plant here in Lagos ... anytime there's gas outage and we run the plant on diesel our ogas start crying...we use Jenbacher Gen for gas and CAT for diesel

I made my assertions having in mind a 1.8l car like the corolla or civic.

For your big SUV the CNG equivalent will be 25% of N30k = N7,500

the problem with the generator converter is the converter itself but cost of gas which lng in this case. Cng is not readily available even in the area where it is available I doubt if they have the cng gas tank as you can use your lpg tank for cng. The need for the converter is for the cost of cng and not necessarily for fuel economic.


Same thing with the car, if you live in an area were cng is readily available as the cost of installation, the fuel is way cheaper.

Now on the issue of America not having more than 2k refueling cng stations, there are several factors at play which largely affects the usage of cng car such high cost of a cng car compared to regular car, cheap gasoline price, fewer cng gas station etc.
