As each day passes, the presidential initiatives aimed at increasing natural gas usage, along with soaring diesel prices, further shift Nigeria towards a gas-driven economy. It’s crucial that this shift toward gas is leveraged effectively, and that’s where modularized Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) refill stations come into play.
A modularized CNG refill station, also known as an MRU (Modular Refill Unit), is a
prefabricated, portable, and mobile station engineered to supply CNG to vehicles or storage units. Each MRU includes compressors, a CNG Discharge Column, a CNG Dispenser, a standalone CNG Storage Cylinder, and a Compressor Control System. These components ensure efficient and reliable operation.
Advantages of the modularized refill stations are:
Cost-Effectiveness: Modular units are less expensive to set up compared to traditional gas stations. This cost efficiency extends from your capital expenditure to your operational expenditure. For existing filling stations, adopting an MRU is
approximately 60% cheaper than building a new Autogas station from scratch.
Funding Opportunities: By investing in modularized CNG refill stations, businesses may qualify for various grants, loans, and tax incentives designed to facilitate the national transition to gas and cleaner energy solutions.
Quick Setup: These stations are prefabricated and portable, and as a result, they require less time to set up and deploy. With modular CNG refill stations, businesses can go from planning to pumping in record time, with the capacity to fill up to 12 cars per hour.
Flexibility and Scalability: The mobile refill stations can easily be installed in any location and can be relocated as demand shifts. They are also designed for easy expansion, allowing businesses to scale up as their fueling needs grow without substantial additional investment.
Environmental Compliance: These stations also help businesses align more with Nigeria’s focus on cleaner energy. By incorporating modular CNG refill stations into your business, you are providing infrastructure that allows vehicles to switch from more polluting fuels such as diesel and petrol to natural gas, which burns cleaner. The stations also meet regulatory standards more readily than traditional fuel technologies.
Affiliate companies of the PCNGI program that have established conversion centers, as well as existing petrol stations, stand to be the biggest beneficiaries of integrating modularized refill stations. For conversion centers, MRUs will allow provosion of a more holistic service offering and consequently boost their customer base. Additionally, petrol stations upgrading to include modularized CNG refill stations can keep their operations relevant and competitive by adapting to the emerging CNG trend. This strategic upgrade helps in retaining a broad customer base and also positions these stations to benefit from the growing demand for cleaner and cheaper fuel alternatives.
