Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a clean-burning alternative fuel made by compressing natural gas, mainly methane to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure. It is used in modified internal combustion engine vehicles and is known for its low emissions and cost-effectiveness.
Switching to CNG reduces your fuel costs significantly up to 60% savings compared to petrol or diesel. It also lowers carbon emissions, helps extend engine life, and contributes to a cleaner environment.
Additionally, CNG engines produce less noise and require less frequent oil changes.
There is no government-mandated registration fee or annual charge for CNG usage.
However, a one-time conversion cost applies when converting your vehicle to run on CNG. This cost varies depending on the vehicle type and conversion kit used.
As of now, CNG is sold at an average of ₦250 to ₦300 per standard cubic metre (scm) at most dispensing stations, which is significantly cheaper than petrol (PMS) or diesel (AGO) prices.
