Powergas, Africa’s largest producer and distributor of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), has been named the 2016 Compressed and Liquefied Natural Gas Production Company.
The award was presented by the Institute for Government Research Leadership Technology (IGRLT) at the 2016 African Governance and Corporate Leadership Awards Ceremony held at the NICON Luxury Hotels in Abuja.
IGRLT recognised Powergas as the pioneer in the off-pipeline gas distribution network in Nigeria, with both gas compression and distribution capabilities and lauded it for its continued investment in the industry.
Chairman of the Clean Energy Group and CEO of Powergas, Deepak Khilnani, said: “Thank you to IGRLT for recognising our efforts in the CNG and mini-LNG industry, and congratulations to the Powergas team for their continued hard work.
“We have an exciting phase of growth over the next two years with plans to produce enough CNG and LNG to generate 500MW of electricity at power plants across Nigeria where the pipelines do not reach.”
Director of Powergas, Mr. Aloy Duru, who received the award on behalf of the firm, said: “Powergas is committed to Nigeria’s CNG and LNG development and we will continue to invest, not only in additional compression and liquefaction stations, but also in innovative customer solutions.”
“Our aim is to get high quality gas to you safely at competitive rates.”
