Tetracore expands Autogas CNG supply network in collaboration with Dangote Cement

Tetracore Energy Group Limited has successfully commissioned Phase 2 of its AutoGas Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) supply network.

This achievement was realized through a strategic partnership with Dangote Cement PLC.

As part of this latest expansion, Tetracore deployed a state-of-the-art Mobile AutoGas Refueling Unit at the Dangote Cement Plant in Ibese, Ogun State. This second-phase rollout reinforces both companies’ shared commitment to accelerating the adoption of clean energy across Nigeria’s industrial and transportation sectors.

The newly commissioned mobile unit can deliver up to 50,000 standard cubic meters per day (SCMD) of AutoGas, supplementing the 25,000 SCMD capacity already provided by Tetracore’s CNG Mother Station in Atakabo, Ogun State.

Together, these facilities are helping to meet the rising demand for compressed natural gas as a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to conventional fuels.

Tetracore also plays a pivotal role in supporting Dangote Group’s fleet expansion, supplying AutoGas to its new CNG-powered trucks set for deployment nationwide.

This supply initiative, part of a broader strategic partnership, underpins Dangote’s plan to introduce up to 10,000 CNG-powered trucks annually.

By facilitating direct refueling at port locations, Tetracore is driving the shift toward cleaner transportation solutions in Nigeria while bolstering its leadership in the energy sector and contributing to the sustainability goals of one of Africa’s largest conglomerates.

Importantly, this development aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and supports national CNG initiatives aimed at promoting gas utilization, lowering carbon emissions, enhancing energy accessibility, and advancing the transition to sustainable energy sources.

Through this initiative, Tetracore is playing a central role in shaping Nigeria’s energy future by fostering the adoption of cleaner fuels across logistics and industrial operations.

Tetracore’s broader CNG supply network is designed to deliver up to 400,000 SCMD of compressed natural gas daily. This capacity is intended to meet the growing energy needs of Dangote’s logistics operations and other AutoGas users across the region, thereby accelerating the nationwide adoption of CNG for transportation.

To enhance flexibility and accessibility, Tetracore has also deployed an additional 50,000 SCMD mobile CNG refueling unit at the Dangote Cement Plant. These mobile solutions are designed to offer seamless and scalable refueling capabilities in locations where permanent infrastructure is not yet established—ensuring continuous, reliable access to clean energy.

“This commissioning represents more than an infrastructure milestone,” said Engr. Masud Abdulmujeeb Akajewole, Project Team Lead. “It reaffirms our strategic commitment to supporting Nigeria’s gas utilization goals by providing innovative, practical solutions that bridge energy gaps for industrial and transport sectors.”

As Nigeria intensifies efforts to achieve clean and affordable energy targets, the strategic collaboration between Tetracore and Dangote Cement marks a significant step toward advancing national sustainability goals.

With plans to deploy additional mobile units across the country, Tetracore’s expanding AutoGas network is not only solving logistical fuel delivery challenges but also pioneering a modular, agile approach to energy access throughout Nigeria.
