Genesis Energy Unveils Micro-LNG Plant in Nigeria

Key Figures & Findings: Genesis Energy a company committed to sustainable and innovative energy solutions, has successfully commissioned Northern Nigeria’s first Micro-LNG power plant in Kano, a milestone in energy access. The NIDI project utilizes a virtual pipeline delivery system, ensuring a reliable and scalable energy solution for a major polyethylene packaging manufacturer. The facility has an initial 500kW capacity, expandable to 1.5MW of contracted power, and is now fully operational. The project highlights the potential of micro-LNG technology in driving energy efficiency and economic growth while reducing dependence on traditional power sources.
Insights: The NIDI project operates on Micro-LNG technology, leveraging a virtual pipeline system to deliver clean and consistent power to industries. Its scalable capacity ensures flexibility for future energy expansion.
Future Implications: This initiative could accelerate industrial energy adoption in Northern Nigeria, promoting LNG as a cleaner alternative to traditional energy sources. If this model succeeds, Genesis Energy may replicate similar micro-LNG plants across Africa to boost industrial power supply and enhance sustainability efforts.
