As Africa accelerates its transition to cleaner energy and gas-based industrialization, innovative gas distribution models are helping to bridge critical infrastructure gaps. Powergas is a pioneer in compressed natural gas (CNG) solutions in Nigeria and is at the forefront of this transformation, delivering natural gas from “where it is available to where it is needed". With a fast-growing footprint and ambitions that extend beyond Nigeria’s borders, Powergas is spearheading the adoption of CNG across the continent.

Through real voices and on the ground insights, the documentary reveals how execution, infrastructure, and leadership are turning natural gas into a driver of energy security and industrial growth across Africa.
Powergas's Vision
Founded over a decade ago with a mission to unlock cleaner, more accessible fuel alternatives for transport, industries, and power producers, Powergas has grown into a leading private-sector developer, producer, and distributor of compressed natural gas (CNG) in Nigeria. The company built Sub-Saharan Africa's first CNG plant in 2009 and has since grown into a dominant force in the virtual pipeline space.
Today, Powergas operates four mother stations in Ikorodu (Lagos), Ogbele (Rivers), Ebedei (Delta), and Ore (Ondo). This year, the company will commission its fifth compression station in Ajaokuta, bringing total combined capacity to over 33 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d). This milestone is supported by a growing fleet of over 300 CNG tube skids and tankers, underpinning the company's market-leading logistics and delivery performance.
Through its proprietary "Gas on Wheels" model, Powergas has built a 100% safety record since inception. As at December 2025, the company surpassed 600 million standard cubic metres (scm) of CNG delivered to clients across Nigeria and is on track to reach the next milestone of 700 million scm delivered by Q2 2026.
Powergas maintains strategic supply alliances with leading upstream producers and is trusted by Nigeria's leading industrial and commercial names across multiple sectors, reinforcing its position as the partner of choice for cleaner, reliable energy solutions.

Powergas is actively expanding its infrastructure footprint to meet rising demand for cleaner energy solutions. A key element of this strategy is the development of a new mother station in Ajaokuta, which will serve Nigeria’s North Central region and extend the company’s delivery reach deep into new markets. In addition to CNG plant upgrades and network extensions, Powergas is pursuing diversification into small-scale LNG and hydrogen pilot projects, reflecting a commitment to innovation and long-term energy transition alignment.
Regionally, the company is exploring opportunities to replicate its virtual pipeline model in other West African markets, targeting industrial clusters and underserved economic zones with no access to gas pipeline infrastructure. Through strategic partnerships and policy engagement, Powergas aims to establish itself as a central player in Africa’s distributed gas infrastructure landscape, offering scalable solutions that respond to the continent’s diverse energy challenges.

Powergas plays a critical role in Nigeria’s broader energy transition agenda by reducing dependence on diesel and other high-emission fuels. Its virtual pipeline model enables faster adoption of gas in industrial and transportation sectors, helping cut carbon dioxide emissions by up to 30% in industrial use and 15% in heavy-duty transport. By sourcing gas from stranded and underutilized wells, the company supports flare reduction efforts and contributes to methane abatement across the value chain. Off-pipeline CNG delivery also reduces leakage risks associated with aging pipeline infrastructure, further enhancing the climate value of its operations. As global pressure to decarbonize intensifies, Powergas offers a compelling pathway to cleaner growth, grounded in practical delivery, safety, and scalability.
