FG mandates pipeline transportation of CNG
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

A CNG gas truck owned by Gasco Marine, which experienced a brake failure, collided with a road barricade and erupted into flames, resulting in one fatality and the destruction of several vehicles.

In the wake of this tragic incident, the federal government has mandated that Gas licenses will only be issued to companies capable of constructing gas distribution pipelines. Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, made this announcement during his visit to Abeokuta to assess the aftermath of the CNG explosion at Ita Oshin.

Why it matters?

Compressed natural gas (CNG) serves as a cleaner and more cost-effective alternative to traditional fuels like gasoline and diesel. However, the recent accident underscores the dangers associated with transporting fuel via road, highlighting the urgent need for pipeline infrastructure to ensure safety and security.

What people are saying

Minister Ekpo stressed the necessity of transitioning away from virtual gas transportation, emphasizing the government’s commitment to developing pipeline infrastructure for seamless CNG transmission.

Comments suggest that pipeline transport is favored, albeit recognizing the challenges ahead in infrastructure
development.

“We are not there yet, but we will get there. The responsibility to lay gas pipelines lies on the head of the government because it is not a small investment.”

Bottom line

The incident serves as a sobering reminder of the hazards inherent in fuel transportation and underscores the importance of adopting safer methods. Embracing compressed natural gas as an alternative fuel, coupled with the development of pipeline infrastructure, offers a pathway towards a more secure and sustainable energy future.
