Some gas stations across Nigeria have started selling Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), which is seen as a viable alternative to Premium Motor Spirit, also known as gasoline.

CNG is a pressurized fuel gas that remains transparent, odorless and non-corrosive.

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) recently ordered all petrol stations across the country to start selling CNG.

The introduction of CNG at gas stations is part of the federal government’s broader strategy to diversify Nigeria’s energy sources and reduce citizens’ dependence on gasoline.
