The Nigeria LNG Limited announced Wednesday that, in the 21 years since it first opened for business, the company had sent more than 5,000 LNG cargoes to clients all over the world.
The business, which pledged support for Nigeria's energy transition, announced that it has started researching hydrogen electrification and carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) in order to lessen air pollution.
At a panel discussion titled "Molecules and electrons: Managing the new agenda for growth" at the GASTECH exhibition and conference in Milan, Italy, Olalekan Ogunleye, the deputy managing director of NLNG, made this statement.
He noted that with the current expansion plan through the ongoing Train 7, it would add eight million metric tonnes per annum or 30 percent to its existing capacity.
He said: “We have delivered over 5,400 LNG cargoes safely and counting. As an enterprise, we have completely embraced energy transition. And there are many elements to that. There is a business necessity to that because our stated vision is to be a globally competitive energy company that is helping to build a better Nigeria.
“We cannot be globally competitive if we are not in touch with market dynamics and new realities, and if we are not embracing decarbonization. So, another important element is that we have integrated energy transition into our business at all levels. We have a Carbon Council that has been in place for over one year.
“We are also creating a green culture within the organisation by recasting energy transition in personnel channels.”
