The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG) has announced that approval has been given for the supply of 100 per cent of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (butane and propane) produced by the company to the Nigerian market.
In a statement on Thursday, the NLNG said that it would prioritise the domestic market for its butane (cooking gas) production, noting that it supplied its first propane cargo into the domestic market three months ago and had developed a scheme to sustainably supply propane for usage in cooking gas blending as well as in agro-allied, autogas, power and petrochemical sectors of the Nigerian economy to further deepen gas utilisation in the country.
It said the initiatives were designed to increase LPG availability in Nigeria, diversify its uses and support the Federal Government’s Decade of Gas initiative.
