Lafarge Africa Expands Green Mobility with New CNG Station at Mfamosing
Lafarge Africa Plc is set to commission a new state-of-the-art Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) station at its Mfamosing Plant in Cross River State.
This, it said, is line with its ongoing commitment to sustainable energy and reducing carbon emissions, noting that, this addition will further strengthen Lafarge Africa’s strategy in advancing green mobility and environmental sustainability across its supply chain.
The new CNG station builds on Lafarge Africa’s existing green mobility initiatives such as the Electric Vehicle Truck, CNG Trucks, and Green Depots. With over N100 billion invested in advancing its green mobility strategy, the company continues its drive toward reducing emissions and optimising the environmental performance of its logistics operations while bolstering the implementation of the Federal Government’s CNG initiative.
Speaking on the soon-to-be-launched CNG station, GMD/CEO of Lafarge Africa, Lolu Alade-Akinyemi said, “At Lafarge Africa, sustainability is at the core of how we do business. This initiative underscores our dedication to continuous improvement in environmental performance, in line with our commitment to deliver innovative and sustainable building solutions. Our new CNG station at Mfamosing is another step forward in our green mobility strategy, enabling us to reduce our carbon footprint while enhancing the efficiency of our supply chain”.
Logistics director of Lafarge Africa, Osazemen Aghatise emphasised the operational advantages of the new station, saying, “The launch of our new CNG station is a key milestone in our logistics strategy to promote green mobility and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. This investment in CNG infrastructure underscores our leadership and our ongoing environmental initiatives.
“We are also expanding our fleet with more CNG trucks and electric vehicles, while implementing innovative multimodal solutions to eliminate CO2 emissions from transportation. These efforts reinforce our commitment to sustainability and establish us as leaders in green logistics,” he added.
