At different pioneering and exciting energy transition events in the Nigerian transportation sector, Greenville LNG, Nigeria’s flagship domestic gas infrastructure development and distribution company, commenced the fuelling of Nigerian Railway Corporation’s Abuja-Kaduna trains retrofitted locomotive engines with LNG. A press statement issued by the media unit of the company, Sunday, said Greenville LNG also commenced fuelling of Ekeson transport’s Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)-powered luxury buses in Lagos. “Greenville LNG was at the Idu Abuja Railway station to, for the second time, fuel for a test drive of the newly retrofitted LNG-powered trains.
This initiative is part of NRC’s ongoing energy transition to LNG, with the locomotives retrofitted with LNG kits by De-Sadel consortium. “During the first locomotive engine fueling with LNG by Greenville LNG at the Idu Abuja Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) Station, Greenville LNG Company Limited was represented by its General Manager of LNG-CNG Retailing, Gokul Moothedathu, Head of Commercial Amit Singh, amongst others. “There were also several senior NRC officials on ground during the historic event in Idu Abuja FCT.
The second LNG fueling of the NRC locomotives event saw the attendance of notable stakeholders and invited guests. Both test drives were successfully conducted with passengers on board,” the statement said. The partnership between Greenville LNG and NRC focuses on the supply of LNG for the retrofit.
