As part of it’s commitment towards the Global Net Zero Journey, Dangote Group has announced that it has deployed the use of fuel blending, which includes the use of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Automated Gas Oil (AGO) also known as diesel for cost effective and pollution free haulage business.

Net zero refers to a state in which the greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere are balanced by removal out of the atmosphere. The term net zero is important because – for CO2 at least – this is the state at which global warming stops.

Speaking on Tuesday in Lagos, at the 2022 National Conference and Annual General Meeting of the Chattered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) Nigeria in Lagos, Chairman of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote represented by Mr Michael Kehinde announced that the company has equally incorporated the same fuel blending strategy, in terms of its truck aquisition.

Speaking, he said “The success of any manufacturing organization today depends on the flexibility and efficiency of it’s supply chain.
It requires innovation to overcome the several challenges posed by limited infrastructure for the movement of people, goods and services.

“Innovation requires a company to be ahead of competition, therefore, operators must develop solutions that would improve our turnaround time.

“For us at Dangote Group, we offer strategies to meet the challenges in the logistics and transport sector with investment in modern trucks which helps us in controlling and customizing our supply chain, delivering our raw materials to our plants for production and our finished product to customers.

“As part of our commitment to the Global NetZero journey, we have commenced the use of fuel blending which is the use of CNG and AGO at the same time as a source of energy for our trucks, and we have also incorporated the same into our strategy, in terms of truck aquisition” he said
