Alfa Design Nigeria to Convert Diesel Engine Vehicles to CNG
By Dorcas Jonah
Alfa Design Nigeria, a leading oil and gas company, is set to begin conversion of diesel engine vehicles to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). This move is part of the company’s commitment to ensuring a cleaner and greener future for Nigeria.
Dual Fuel Engine Conversion Kit
Research Engineer for Alfa Design, Mubarak Abdul, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja. Abdul explained that the company has developed a dual fuel engine conversion kit that enables vehicles to use a combination of CNG and diesel fuel.
Benefits of the Kit
The kit, Abdul said, would enable engines to use less diesel and more CNG, resulting in low emission and the absence of soot. He added that the company is partnering with a foreign company to start the project soon in Nigeria.
Introduction of CT Machine
In addition to the CNG conversion kit, Alfa Design is also introducing a Computed Tomography (CT) machine to the country. The machine, Abdul said, is being used in industries for advanced inspections and would help oil and gas firms to carry out rock physics analysis and other investigations easily.
Importance of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Abdul urged Nigerians to adopt every means to tackle greenhouse gas emissions, saying they could have negative effects on the long run. He identified some major problems associated with greenhouse gas emissions, including flooding and global warming, and urged Nigerians to support the government and its initiatives.
Conclusion
Alfa Design Nigeria’s move to convert diesel engine vehicles to CNG and introduce the CT machine is a step in the right direction towards a cleaner and greener future for Nigeria. The company’s commitment to reducing emissions by 2030 is also commendable. It is hoped that this initiative will inspire other companies to join in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable development.
