Hawilti Natural Gas
Nigeria has chosen gas as its key transition fuel and named the 2020- 2030 period as “Decade of Gas” in a bid to monetize its 208 Tcf of gas reserves to drive industrialization, create jobs, and generate revenue. However, gas production continues to stagnate and most gas produced in the country is still reserved for exports, flared or re-injected.
The new administration is on a mission to change that and is implementing several reforms to grow gas production and consumption. Following the signing of the Electricity Act in 2023 and the removal of gasoline subsidies, Nigeria now offers a level playing field for any stakeholder willing to invest in the gas value-chain, with significant opportunities from upstream to downstream gas.
Recent policy interventions and private sector investment are domesticating compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) while supporting the expansion of virtual pipelines networks. In 2023, President Bola A. Tinubu notably launched the Presidential CNG Initiative to grow CNG infrastructure and consumption after the removal of gasoline subsidies.
