In line with the ‘Decade of Gas’ initiative, which was declared by President Muhammadu Buhari last March, the Blackgold Authorities, an oil and gas consulting and advisory firm, has launched a masterclass series on compressed natural gas (CNG).
“The energy world is transiting from the usage of dirty fuel to clean fuel in line with the sustainable development goals and the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) has been identified as a fast-growing alternative for the fossil fuel. The Federal government of Nigeria through the Ministry of Petroleum Resources declared the decade 2021- 2030 as the decade of Gas hence our commitment to educating Nigerians on the business opportunities around the CNG market both for startups and scale-up, for MSME and large corporate organisations,” Blackgold’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dr. Oladunni Owo, said.
Valuechain reports that the ‘Decade of Gas’ was declared by Buhari on March 29, 2021.
The initiative was designed to ensure that Nigeria takes advantage of the global energy transition to positioning the country towards a gas-powered economy by 2030.
The two-day virtual masterclass will focus on the fundamentals of CNG business with training courses that will provide more information on the current business opportunities around CNG, especially as a fuel of choice for vehicles.
Practice exercises and self-assessment quizzes are included to help reinforce key topics introduced throughout the course.
A comprehensive final test and certificate shall be issued at the end of the course.
Blakgold Authorities is Nigeria’s leading oil and gas consulting and advisory company with a consistent track record in the business of oil and gas management, consultancy services, business development, project management and project finance services, capacity building, business advisory services, transaction brokerage services, supply chain services and general business optimization offerings.
