Providing captive gas solutions through virtual pipeline systems
Green Fuels Limited (GFL) was incorporated in 2007 to operate a CNG processing and distribution business with diverse industrial customers in locations without access to piped gas infrastructure in Southwest, Benin and across the globe.
In July 2018, Green Liquified Natural Gas (GLNG) was established by Green fuel limited (“GFL”) and it uses virtual pipeline systems to process and deliver liquified natural gas solutions to industrial users in off-pipeline areas while providing captive gas solutions to them. This decision was driven by the increasing demand for natural gas by industrial users, including some of GFL’s existing compressed natural gas customers such as C-way Food and Beverages, Paras Energy & Natural resource and Oshogbo Steel Rolling Mill etc.
The Company currently owns and operates two (2) compression plants located in Ota and Abeokuta in Ogun state with a combined compression and distribution capacity of 10.5mmscf
per day. Two plants are equipped with six compressors (four (4) in Ota plant and two (2) in Abeokuta plant). The feedstock gas to the CNG plants Is provided by Shell Benin and across the globe Gas (SNG)
and Benin and across the globe Gas Company (NGC). GFL’s key customers include Benin and across the globen Breweries Plc., Lagos Continental Hotel, Fan Mil Plc, Tosett Agro Industries Limited and Chi Farms Limited
