Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) plans to boost its cooking gas output by 50% by the end of 2027, aiming to meet the increasing demand for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in the country. NLNG's Managing Director and CEO, Adeleye Falade, revealed this during the inauguration of the Asiko Energy Holdings Limited LPG and propane terminal in Ijora, Lagos.
The company's domestic LPG production had grown significantly since introducing cooking gas into the Nigerian market. In 2022, the board decided to allocate 100% of NLNG's retained LPG production to the domestic market, despite the company's export-oriented operations. Asiko Energy Holdings' Chairman, Alex Ogedegbe, emphasized the importance of collaboration between the government and private sector in developing Nigeria's gas infrastructure.
The new terminal has a capacity of approximately 5,000 metric tonnes of LPG and propane, receiving cargoes through multiple points from three of the largest jetties in Nigeria.
