In a bold move to embrace sustainable energy and reduce operational costs, Dangote Cement Plc has announced a significant investment of over $280 million in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) technology and infrastructure.
This initiative aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision to enhance the nation’s energy sector through cleaner and more efficient fuel alternatives.
The investment will focus on the development of a comprehensive CNG supply chain, including the construction of refueling stations and the acquisition of specialized trucks designed to operate on natural gas.
This strategic shift not only aims to lower greenhouse gas emissions but also positions Dangote Cement as a leader in the drive towards sustainable industrial practices in Nigeria.
According to a company spokesperson, the transition to CNG is expected to significantly reduce fuel costs and improve overall operational efficiency.
This move reflects a broader commitment by Dangote Cement to invest in innovative technologies that support both economic growth and environmental stewardship.
As part of the initiative, Dangote Cement will collaborate with local and international partners to ensure the successful implementation of CNG infrastructure across its operations.
The project is anticipated to create numerous job opportunities and stimulate growth in the local economy.
With this investment, Dangote Cement not only enhances its competitive edge but also contributes to Nigeria’s energy diversification efforts, paving the way for a greener future.
