TCD:
Please is it same Normal gas stations that refill cooking gas that refill CNG cylinders?

safarifarms:
You can do better by making the information generally available to alley people's fears and concerns. Some of those concerns would keep some in doubt and reduce conversions. No one would like to commit blindly especially when he already feels concerned

fuckboys:
GAZZUZZ are you talking about been the first in Nigeria to do this or first on Nairaland?

rdsco:
so, if a car mistakenly hits you with speed or you do the hitting, na explosion be that?

DarlingtonC:
He said he will provide information to the 'buyer'.

Who is a 'buyer'?

You must know All the risks involved before considering whether to buy

His response could mean that there's a very high risk that he'll only tell you once you part with your money

DarlingtonC:
This is not a response I expect from a professional. People should know ALL the risks involved before choosing to buy or not.

In fact regulatory bodies should step into what you are doing and ensure people know the risk to avoid someone moving about with a bomb waiting to explode

DarlingtonC:
Have you outlined the risks attached to this?

excanny:
What safety measures have been put in place in case of an explosion?

Hope this one won't heat up and kill people especially if trapped in traffic/long distance journey ,head on collision accident? May we not see Evil

NJV:
Interesting. Great job. Can't wait to see the prices. I hope they'll be affordable.

@GAZZUZZ
You are commended for your beautiful post which gives knowledge about CNG, and conversion of PMS-run vehicles to CNG-run vehicles. Your testimonial is timely and should be enough to put you in the forefront among those the government has tasked with the responsibility of leading the revolution of converting vehicles from PMS to CNG - powered.
There's this news I'll post below, about LNG converted to LCNG, will like to inquire whether the LCNG can work in the same unit installed for CNG, that is if the kits for CNG are installed in a vehicle, can the system be fed with LCNG and still work just fine?


Greenville LNG launches first-ever Liquefied CNG station in Kaduna

On Tuesday, October 24, Greenville LNG launched the first-ever Liquefied Compressed Natural Gas station in Nigeria.

This is according to a statement via the company’s official page on LinkedIn.

The Liquefied Compressed Natural Gas (L-CNG) station, situated in Kaduna state, marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s energy landscape.

This pioneering L-CNG station, the first of its kind in the country, has been launched to tackle the persistent issue of fuel shortages and to bolster the distribution of natural gas.

This development is of great importance for several reasons.
First, it is crucial to understand that both liquefied natural gas (LNG) and L-CNG present highly attractive alternatives to conventional fuels.

They bring about substantial fuel cost savings, typically in the range of 15-20%, making them not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly.
This shift towards cleaner and more economical energy sources is a step in the right direction for Nigeria’s energy sector.

The L-CNG station, according to the company, is not just a solution to current energy challenges.

It is also a catalyst for economic growth, particularly in Kaduna state.

By promoting the use of L-CNG, this initiative supports local businesses and revitalizes the transport sector, thus creating economic opportunities and job prospects in the region.

Future plans
Greenville LNG’s ambitious plan involves establishing 25 L-CNG distribution hubs across the country, which will serve as reliable sources of energy for fuel stations.

This concerted effort is a significant step towards making a sustainable and environmentally responsible future a reality for Nigeria.

It not only addresses the need for cleaner energy sources but also bolsters the nation’s energy infrastructure and local economies.
Backstory
In August 2023, the Tinubu administration shifted its focus to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as a substitute for petrol.

This transition occurred after the removal of fuel subsidies, causing a significant increase in pump prices, which now exceed N650 per litre in some areas.

To address this issue, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) entered into an agreement with Nipco Gas Limited.

This collaboration aims to establish CNG stations throughout the country, offering Nigerians a more affordable and sustainable option for fuel.

The project unfolds in two key phases:

Intra-City Phase (Q1/2024): The initial phase includes the establishment of 21 CNG stations, primarily focused on supporting transportation within cities. These stations are set to become operational by the first quarter of 2024.

Intercity Phase (2024): The second phase, set to be completed in 2024, involves the creation of 35 CNG stations geared towards intercity transportation, promoting the use of CNG for longer-distance travel.

These efforts are further reinforced by an additional 56 stations planned to be set up by NNPC Retail stations across the nation. Currently, Nipco Gas is already operating 14 CNG stations in various locations across Nigeria.

Notably, they’ve successfully converted over 7,000 vehicles to run on CNG, demonstrating their commitment to cleaner and more sustainable energy options.

What an L-CNG station means
An L-CNG refuelling station is a place where liquefied natural gas (LNG) is transformed into compressed natural gas (CNG) for refuelling CNG vehicles.

The primary equipment needed for such a station includes an LNG storage tank, an LNG pump, a gasifier, a group of gas cylinders, and a CNG filling machine.

LoveJesus87:
where is this?

streetwise2015:
How many miles would the full tank of the gas last in a car ?

KingMack:
using gas is not safe in Nigeria...more especially cos of our bad roads! Accident go to brutal for that kind setting😢😏

That's what kerosine users said about cooking gas, look what happened.

Meanwhile do you consider this safe?

BennyDGreat:
Just watched the video attached. It looks fair but if going on a long distance travel, one would need more than one cylinder...which will further reduce the space....

How much of CNG is a full tank for that kind of cylinder?

BennyDGreat:
That lack of trunk space is a big issue oh...very big one

ican2020:
More information will be welcome

TK9680:
Well done sir. Can this be done with a camry 2005 to 2013?

Brokendad:
Lol.

I am not broke bro, I am not.

I am way better financially than the family that I'm dealing with. The girl is just unfortunate to have an evil mother.

Gazzuz, you even know me personally as I do buy Mobil 1 from you. You cannot use me and being broke in the same sentence.

BBIA:
In this life, have money.


All this nonsense for no happen.

GAZZUZZ:
You are broke, and becoming a father in 2023.

Make money , have money, now one will terminate your pregnancy if you are comfortable.

Make money.

Brokendad:
I got into a relationship with a 22 year old girl who's turning 23 by January.

Along the line, she got pregnant. We kept the pregnancy away from her people until after four months.

I have already made a visit to her family to register my interest in marrying the girl and have asked for date for introduction and traditional marriage.

But when she told the mother that she's pregnant, the first question the mother asked her is if she had told me.

When she said yes, the mother was shouting at her that why did she tell me. The mother didn't know that I was with the daughter when she made that call.

Few days after, the mother asked her to return home. A day before the girl left, I have already registered her for antenatal. But I remember when I was paying for the antenatal, the girl asked me not to waste my money.

I didn't know that she has already agreed with the mother to kill and remove a four months old pregnancy.

Immediately the mother learnt that she was pregnant, she asked her to cut all communications with me or she will lay a curse on her.

So, every other communication we were having, the mum didn't know about it.

She left Lagos on Wednesday and today, the mother called me that the baby in her daughter's womb is dead due to stress that the girl was going through while in Lagos. That no one was attending to her, bla bla bla. Not knowing that I have been taking the girl to the hospital all along. She said that they are waiting for a doctor to evacuate the baby.

I feel so terrible right now. This girl is the first daughter and the first to have anything to do with marriage and child bearing. The mother has the gut to kill the first unborn child that was coming into their family.

The mother didn't know that I have all the evidence with me. That I have the test results and the scan results. The baby was doing very well as at the scan we did a day before she left.

I told her that I am willing to take responsibility for her and the child. I am capable. I am willing to marry her. Why then does the mother still go ahead to terminate a 4 months old pregnancy?

The mother attends mountain of fire church. So, I don't know if it's the shame of what people will say about a supposedly murderous Christian home.

I told her that she can remain in Lagos until she delivers if she doesn't want anyone to know that she took in but no, the mother wants to soil her hands in blood.

From my chat with the girl, she's preparing to undergo the abortion. So, it's like the mum called me ahead to inform me that they are about to take the child off her womb. Somebody that a baby died in her womb wouldn't be strong enough to be replying me WhatsApp messages.

I am tempted to take a legal action

Exumal:
Should cars owners with auto and semi auto transmissions not think of converting their cars to cng configuration?

ubreeze:
Thanks so much Gazzuzz for this, your experiment on LPG conversion for generators gave me the confidence to convert my generator. When I saw ur videos on TikTok, I really wanted to know the year of the Hyundai i10 so I could do some calculations on the gains you got from converting it. I'm happy U stated the year on this post.
The 2012 i10 has an average fuel efficiency of 32.2 MPG or 13.68 KM per liter according to data from FUELLYdotcom (this data was gotten from 55 vehicles, tracked across 2,651 fuel ups and 568,897 miles).
Using this average, that 267km trip you did with N2,450 worth of CNG would have cost you: 267/13.68= 19.5 liters to complete.
That is N13,271 at N680 per liter (As sold in my area), an incredible savings of N10, 821!!!, (over 80%).
I had already made up my mind to convert my car to CNG cos I had done extensive research on it before now. The only issue was that there were no CNG stations in my State.
Luckily, last month a CNG station was commissioned in my state, the very next Local Government to where I stay (39km away).
Your videos once again on CNG conversion are timely, I can see the practicality of it all (not just theories and figures I got online), thank you so much.
I think I will begin my conversion journey while I try to get those who would partner with me to get a station operational in the town I live.

avast01:
are there cng cylinders for home use then ?
And do you know if these are available in nigeria ??

avast01:
Can CNG be bought in normal cooking gas cylinders ??
And can it be used for cooking ?
