To ensure the sufficient and effective supply of Compressed Natural Gas, the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas has launched the mobility CNG frame work.

The framework also has the objective of standardizing supply chain standards, pricing management structure and stimulation of demand.

At the lunch in abuja, Programme Coordinator of the PCNGI, Micheal Oluwagbemi said beyond gas infrastructure, the

the organization was on a steady path to stabilize the implementation of the CNG programme.

We have the obligation to ensure that “In an economy where gas is being used for various purposes, that it’s possible for someone to say, I want to make demands of gas for auto CNG, since it’s priced lower, and then go and use it for power. with the potential opportunity we need to do it in an organized fashion, create the proper market for autogas CNG, and also then develop the marketplace where people can actually make demand, pay for it, get their gas, use it and sell it, into the auto CNG market.”

Oluwagbemi noted that the market had been growing tremendously in the last year.

Presenting the Mobility GNG supply Framework, Member of the Joint working team, Mrs Tari Bright Said the objective of the framework was to develop a national gas supply strategy that ensures uninterrupted gas supply and distribution options from different upstream and create an enabling environment for both investors and consumers.

“The Framework is to develop a national gas supply strategy that ensures uninterrupted gas supply and distribution options from different upstream. But if we don’t have a structured system, what we’ll have is half of that solution. And at the end of the day, it will fall like a pack of cards.”

She emphasized the holistic approach embedded in the framework. ” We want for everyone that wants to come onto the system to be very comfortable, to see how the line of sight on how to pick gas. Promote CNG supply incentives and encourage partner participation.” She added.

The Managing Director, Gas Aggregator Company, Mr. Chijoke Uzoho said the framework marked the beginning of an impactful partnership.
