This study presents critical insights into the potential of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to conventional fuel (Petrol). Key findings indicate that transitioning to CNG could significantly reduce Nigeria's heavy reliance on imported Petrol, which currently stands at an average consumption of 50 million litres daily. This shift promises substantial economic savings—potentially around #17.791 trillion in annual consumption. It also offers a remarkable reduction in carbon emissions of 30.66 billion kg CO2/year per year, with projections suggesting a decrease of approximately 73% in daily CO2 emissions from the transportation sector. The emphasis on the environmental benefits of CNG should make stakeholders feel responsible and committed to the cause of sustainability.
