Lafarge Africa to Launch CNG Station at Mfamosing Plant for Green Mobility Expansion

Nigeria's leading cement, aggregates, and construction solutions provider expands its sustainability drive through alternative fuel exploration

Boosting the adoption of clean energy for logistics and transportation

In a significant move towards promoting green mobility and reducing its carbon footprint, Lafarge Africa is set to commission a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) station at its Mfamosing plant in Cross River state, Nigeria. The multi-million dollar investment underscores the company's commitment to sustainable operations and environmental stewardship.

The CNG station, which is the first of its kind in the Nigerian cement industry, will supply clean-burning CNG to Lafarge Africa's fleet of trucks and logistics partners. CNG is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to diesel, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particulate matter, and noise pollution.

The launch of the CNG station aligns with Lafarge Africa's sustainability strategy, which prioritizes the adoption of cleaner energy sources, reduction of carbon emissions, and promotion of circular economy practices. The company has set an ambitious target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

Lafarge Africa's entry into the CNG space is expected to have a ripple effect on the transportation sector in Nigeria. It showcases the potential of CNG as a viable alternative fuel and encourages other businesses to explore sustainable mobility solutions.

The Mfamosing plant, where the CNG station is located, is one of Lafarge Africa's most technologically advanced facilities. The plant produces a range of cement products, including the popular Elephant Cement brand.

With the launch of the CNG station, Lafarge Africa is demonstrating its leadership in the cement industry and setting an example for other companies to embrace green mobility and sustainable practices.
