– Dangote CNG truck rollout for fuel delivery
– Clean energy logistics Dangote refinery
– ₦720bn investment cuts fuel distribution costs
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has unveiled a bold, climate-smart initiative—deploying 4,000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered trucks to distribute refined petroleum products nationwide starting August 15, 2025. With a massive ₦720 billion investment, the refinery is set to absorb over ₦1.07 trillion annually in fuel logistics costs, helping Nigerians save more than ₦1.7 trillion per year. This system bypasses intermediaries, directly delivering petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel to filling stations, industries, and large-volume consumers. It also creates over 15,000 direct jobs, revives rural filling stations, and supports more than 42 million MSMEs by reducing energy costs and curbing inflation.
This transformative move aligns with Nigeria’s broader shift toward cleaner energy infrastructure and mirrors TotalEnergies’ push for sustainability across Africa’s energy sector. Though specific details on TotalEnergies’ efforts aren’t available, the CNG-powered truck deployment presents a scalable model for reducing carbon emissions in fuel logistics—an approach that region-wide energy players like TotalEnergies could take inspiration from.
