拉各斯的车主现在可以将其汽车转换为CNG供电

尼日利亚的经济枢纽拉各斯的车主，试图将汽车转换为CNG驱动的车主，可以松了一口气

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.

尼日利亚经济枢纽拉各斯的车主，试图将其汽车转换为压缩天然气（CNG）的权力，可以使人们松一口气，因为总统压缩天然气（PCNG）倡议已伙伴搭配AX AX GAS，以建立在Lekki，Lagos州Lagki，Lagos State的Lakkowe地区的转换中心。

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.

刚刚推出的CNG汽车转换中心将开始对政府拥有的车辆以及商业车辆的转换，不需要给驾驶员。

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.

该中心每天有能力转换约七辆车。它还设有液化石油燃气厂，向该地区的人们出售烹饪气体。

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首席执行官Andre Bassey表示，私人汽车所有者还可以根据车辆类型来访问中心以非常实惠的价格转换其车辆。

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.

据他说，CNG仍然是汽油的便宜替代品，现在售价超过每升N900。他在周日举行的活动上说：“我们基本上是为了开设两个设施。一个是从汽油汽车到压缩天然气的汽车转换中心。第二个原因是我们的12.5公吨液化石油燃气厂进行了调试，这是一家烹饪天然气厂。”

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.

在谈到斧头气体与PCNGI之间的联系时，Bassey说：“ PCNGI的作用是，一旦您准备对此进行投资，它们就会为您提供有能力的环境，许可并提供了套件。因此，套件已由PCNGI提供和许可，以使您为您的设施带来降低操作成本。

“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.

“只要您驾驶政府拥有的车辆，您就可以转换您的汽车。商业司机将通过他们的工会免费转换车辆免费。但是，如果您是私人所有者，您会有所付出的代价，因为PCNGI的想法是为了补贴运输，因此一旦可以自由地用于商业用户，就可以降低交通运输的成本。

“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.

汽油为每升N930。如果您转换车辆，与汽油价格相比，CNG等于一升汽油的CNG大约是N350。因此，您看到汽油几乎是每升压缩汽油价格的三倍。它更便宜了。它已经换成了我的两辆汽车的付费。如果我付出了付费。 Bassey减轻了对爆炸的恐惧，称CNG圆柱体如果不妥协就无法爆炸。

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.

他说，尼日利亚报道的几起爆炸案件是割伤拐角处的结果，警告尼日利亚人在政府认可的地方转换其车辆。他说：“ CNG圆柱体非常厚，与烹饪气缸不同。当某人现在在烹饪气中施加了250 bar的压力时，只能拿到30 bar时，您的猜测和我的猜测一样好。您知道下一件事是它将爆炸。

“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.”

“这就是为什么我们有一个学习中心。我们一直在教育人们，他们应该去适当许可的转换中心，在那里他们将拥有保险，PCNGI已经许可他们像我们一样运作，以便他们不必有任何此类问题。”

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.

国家汽车设计与开发委员会总干事约瑟夫·奥萨尼平（Joseph Osanipin）赞扬Ax Gas为尼日利亚汽车领域的清洁能源解决方案推动，并称NADDC的使命是促进可持续的替代燃料，以促进绿色未来。
