DRIVING SUSTAINABILITY: EVALUATING LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) AS A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO TRANSPORTATION FUELS IN NIGERIA

This study explores the potential of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) as a sustainable alternative to traditional transportation fuels in Nigeria. With growing concerns about environmental pollution and energy security, the adoption of cleaner and more efficient fuel sources is imperative. LPG, a versatile and readily available energy resource, offers significant advantages in terms of reduced emissions, lower operational costs, and enhanced energy security. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, policy frameworks, and case studies, this paper assesses the feasibility and implications of transitioning to LPG for transportation in Nigeria. Key considerations include infrastructure development, regulatory frameworks, market dynamics, and socio-economic impacts. The findings contribute to ongoing discussions on sustainable energy transitions and inform strategies for promoting LPG adoption in the transportation sector, thereby driving environmental sustainability and energy resilience in Nigeria.
