CNG is compressed natural gas, primarily composed of methane and ethane derived from natural gas production. LPG is liquefied petroleum gas primarily containing butane or propane, derived from crude oil refining and processing. CNG is cheaper, safer and more reliable, costing 40 to 50% less than petrol, as significantly less than diesel. CNG is safer than LPG or petrol as it dissipates quickly and is lighter than air, reducing fire risks in contained environments. Yes, all vehicles can potentially be converted to run on CNG in addition to patrol in hybrid systems. CNG cost between 200 naira to 300 naira per kilogram in Nigeria, while petrol prices range from 630 naira to 700 naira or more in different regions. The government regulates natural gas prices, not CNG prices directly. Small vehicles typically have 65 liter tanks requiring 11:50 kg of C&G to fill. A petrol tank for a four or five passenger car can last 400 to 500 kilometers, costing 18, 000 naira to 30,000 Naira, while CNG costs 6000 naira to 10, 000 naira for the same distance. A standard workshop can convert 2 to three vehicles per day. More stations are installing CNG dispensers, with plans for 200 to 400 new stations by the end of 2024, improving access across the country. Yes, diesel vehicles can be converted through diesel retrofit, which involves injecting both diesel and CNG into the engine simultaneously at a 70 to 30 proportion CNG diesel. By providing training through collaboration with Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology to equip technicians and experts for conversions aiming to accelerate natural gas vehicle adoption. The standard cylinder size is 55 to 65 liters, which 65 liters recommended for most vehicles except for very small vehicles worth 55 liters would suffice. Conversion kits are not universal. Visit a workshop for a vehicle assessment based on your vehicles details like type, make, date of manufacture and place of manufacture to determine the right kit for conversion. No. Conversion kits should be installed by an accredited technician at an accredited workshop who will select the appropriate keys for your vehicle. Say.
