拉各斯的車主現在可以將其汽車轉換為CNG供電

尼日利亞的經濟樞紐拉各斯的車主，試圖將汽車轉換為CNG驅動的車主，可以鬆了一口氣

Vehicle owners in Lagos, Nigeria’s economic hub, seeking to convert their automobiles to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered, can heave a sigh of relief, as the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas (PCNG) initiative has partnered Ax Gas to establish a conversion centre in the Lakowe area of Lekki, Lagos State.

尼日利亞經濟樞紐拉各斯的車主，試圖將其汽車轉換為壓縮天然氣（CNG）的權力，可以使人們鬆一口氣，因為總統壓縮天然氣（PCNG）倡議已夥伴搭配AX AX GAS，以建立在Lekki，Lagos州Lagki，Lagos State的Lakkowe地區的轉換中心。

The CNG auto conversion centre just launched will commence the conversion of government-owned vehicles as well as commercial ones at no cost to the drivers.

剛剛推出的CNG汽車轉換中心將開始對政府擁有的車輛以及商業車輛的轉換，不需要給駕駛員。

The centre has the capacity to convert about seven vehicles in a day. It also has a liquefied petroleum gas plant to sell cooking gas to people around the area.

該中心每天有能力轉換約七輛車。它還設有液化石油燃氣廠，向該地區的人們出售烹飪氣體。

Andre Bassey, the chief executive officer of Ax Gas, said private car owners can also visit the centre to convert their vehicles at a very affordable cost, depending on the type of vehicle.

Ax Gas首席執行官Andre Bassey表示，私人汽車所有者還可以根據車輛類型來訪問中心以非常實惠的價格轉換其車輛。

According to him, CNG remains the cheaper alternative to petrol, which now sells for over N900 per litre. “We’re here basically to open two facilities. One is an auto conversion centre from petrol cars to compressed natural gas. And the second reason is for the commissioning of our 12.5 metric tonnes liquefied petroleum gas plant, which is a cooking gas plant,” he said at the event held on Sunday.

據他說，CNG仍然是汽油的便宜替代品，現在售價超過每升N900。他在周日舉行的活動上說：“我們基本上是為了開設兩個設施。一個是從汽油汽車到壓縮天然氣的汽車轉換中心。第二個原因是我們的12.5公噸液化石油燃氣廠進行了調試，這是一家烹飪天然氣廠。”

Speaking about the link between Ax Gas and the PCNGI, Bassey said, “What the PCNGI does is, once you are ready to invest in this, they give you the enabling environment, the licence, and also provide the kits. So, the kits were provided and licensed by the PCNGI for you to bring into your facility to reduce the cost of operations. We built the facility, and the PCNGI provides the kits for conversion.

在談到斧頭氣體與PCNGI之間的聯繫時，Bassey說：“ PCNGI的作用是，一旦您準備對此進行投資，它們就會為您提供有能力的環境，許可並提供了套件。因此，套件已由PCNGI提供和許可，以使您為您的設施帶來降低操作成本。

“As long as you drive a government-owned vehicle, you can come in to convert your car. Commercial drivers will come through their unions to convert their vehicles for free. But if you are a private owner, there’s a little token you will pay because the idea of the PCNGI is to subsidise transportation so that once it’s freely converted for the commercial users, that way, they can reduce the cost of transport fares.

“只要您駕駛政府擁有的車輛，您就可以轉換您的汽車。商業司機將通過他們的工會免費轉換車輛免費。但是，如果您是私人所有者，您會有所付出的代價，因為PCNGI的想法是為了補貼運輸，因此一旦可以自由地用於商業用戶，就可以降低交通運輸的成本。

“Petrol is N930 per litre. If you convert your vehicle, compared to the price of petrol, the CNG equivalent of a litre of petrol is about N350. So, you see that petrol is almost three times the price of compressed gas per litre. It’s way cheaper. Two of my cars have already been converted. If I have a way to pay less for fuel to move my car, why not? I would definitely take it up,” he posited. Bassey allayed fears of an explosion, saying the CNG cylinder cannot explode if not compromised.

汽油為每升N930。如果您轉換車輛，與汽油價格相比，CNG等於一升汽油的CNG大約是N350。因此，您看到汽油幾乎是每升壓縮汽油價格的三倍。它更便宜了。它已經換成了我的兩輛汽車的付費。如果我付出了付費。 Bassey減輕了對爆炸的恐懼，稱CNG圓柱體如果不妥協就無法爆炸。

He said that the few cases of explosion reported in Nigeria were a result of cutting corners, warning Nigerians to convert their vehicles in places accredited by the government. He said, “The CNG cylinder is very thick, way different from the cooking gas cylinder. When somebody now puts something of 250 bar pressure into the cooking gas that can only take 30 bar, your guesses are as good as mine. You know the next thing is that it will explode.

他說，尼日利亞報導的幾起爆炸案件是割傷拐角處的結果，警告尼日利亞人在政府認可的地方轉換其車輛。他說：“ CNG圓柱體非常厚，與烹飪氣缸不同。當某人現在在烹飪氣中施加了250 bar的壓力時，只能拿到30 bar時，您的猜測和我的猜測一樣好。您知道下一件事是它將爆炸。

“That’s why we have a learning centre. We keep educating people that they should go to a properly licensed conversion centre where they will have insurance, where the PCNGI has already licensed them to operate just like ours, so that they don’t have to have any of these kinds of issues.”

“這就是為什麼我們有一個學習中心。我們一直在教育人們，他們應該去適當許可的轉換中心，在那裡他們將擁有保險，PCNGI已經許可他們像我們一樣運作，以便他們不必有任何此類問題。”

Joseph Osanipin, director-general, National Automotive Design and Development Council, commended Ax Gas’ push for clean energy solutions for Nigeria’s automotive sector, saying it aligns with NADDC mission to promote sustainable alternative fuels for a greener future.

國家汽車設計與開發委員會總幹事約瑟夫·奧薩尼平（Joseph Osanipin）讚揚Ax Gas為尼日利亞汽車領域的清潔能源解決方案推動，並稱NADDC的使命是促進可持續的替代燃料，以促進綠色未來。
