Tetracore, Dangote Cement partner to supply CNG for logistics operations
In a significant step towards achieving the goals of President Tinubu’s CNG Initiative (Pi-CNG), Tetracore Energy announced over the weekend that it has entered into a collaboration with Dangote Cement, a subsidiary of the Dangote Group of Companies, to supply Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for its logistics operations.
Under the strategic partnership, Tetracore will deliver up to 400,000 standard cubic metres (SCM) of CNG to support Dangote Cement’s growing auto CNG demand. This collaboration is projected to meet the growing demand from Dangote’s extensive logistics fleet while meeting the rising needs of auto CNG users nationwide, driving cleaner energy use.
To ensure seamless supply, Tetracore will deploy its state-of-the-art mobile refilling units and establish strategically located mother stations nationwide. This innovative solution guarantees accessibility and reliability for Dangote’s logistics operations and other auto CNG users, supporting Nigeria’s transition to cleaner energy sources.
Speaking on the collaboration, Tetracore spokesperson Dayo Williams remarked: “This collaboration underscores Tetracore’s commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions across Nigeria. By collaborating with Dangote Cement, we are not only supporting one of the nation’s largest logistics operations but also driving the adoption of CNG, a cleaner, more efficient fuel option.
“Tetracore deploys small-scale gas and power technologies that are better adapted to address the challenges of an economy like Nigeria. The company has made a conscious decision to focus on natural gas, in line with Nigeria’s ‘Decade of Gas’ initiative, the country’s Energy Transition Plan (ETP), and its commitment to reach Net Zero by 2060.
“The company focuses on projects that have a deep impact on industrialisation and energy access in Africa. It notably has a long-term contract to supply up to 40MMscf/d of gas to the Rongtai Industrial Park in Edo State and 60MMscf/d of natural gas to NDPHC (Niger Delta Power Holding Company) to support 34% of electricity generation to the Nigerian grid.
“This initiative aligns with the Federal Government’s vision for energy transition and economic growth through gas utilisation and reduced reliance on conventional fuels. It also highlights the private sector’s pivotal role in achieving national sustainability goals.”
Tetracore is an integrated energy company with a growing gas and power portfolio that supports energy access, industrialisation, and local content development within Africa’s biggest economy and a growing footprint across Africa.
