📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、運輸部門の脱炭素化は主にEVや水素に焦点が当てられており、CNGは限定的である。しかし、天然ガスを橋渡し燃料とする視点は、日本のエネルギー政策やアジア市場への展開に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a framework for adopting CNG in road transport, relevant for developing countries with natural gas reserves. It contributes to global discussions on low-carbon transition pathways, offering lessons on infrastructure, policy, and social acceptance that can inform similar initiatives in other emerging economies.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract The worrisome economic, environmental, and energy security implications of the continuous use of fossil-based sources as road transport fuel have made Nigeria consider sustainable alternatives. With the country’s abundant natural gas reserves and growing climate commitments, compressed natural gas (CNG) presents a viable pathway for decarbonizing road transport, curbing urban air pollution, and ensuring energy security. The current study examines the adoption, deployment, and integration of CNG into Nigeria’s road transport ecosystem. The study reviews the CNG resources and infrastructure, impact and achievements, and highlights the challenges of CNG deployment as a road transport fuel, case studies from other jurisdictions, suggestions for improvement, and future research perspectives. Though reasonable grounds have been covered, overcoming the technological and infrastructure gaps, economic and financial inadequacy, health, environmental, and safety issues, ensuring social and stakeholder acceptance, and instituting appropriate policy and regulatory frameworks are fundamental to ensure scalability and energy security. Nigeria can leverage case studies from other jurisdictions to leapfrog and accelerate nationwide deployment, mitigate risks, and guarantee a low-carbon road transport future for Nigeria. More sensitization campaigns, investment and fiscal incentive models, price reduction strategies, and rapid upgrade of CNG infrastructure across the country to ensure wide acceptability, affordability, and nationwide deployment. Future research should integrate lifecycle and techno-economic analysis, smart metering, blockchain tracking, spatial modeling, macroeconomic impact, and process optimization to guide stakeholders in designing a resilient, inclusive, and scalable CNG transport framework for Nigeria.
