What we do
At TWD Energy, we leverage human ingenuity and cutting-edge technology to develop and implement scalable solutions that deliver low-carbon, sustainable liquefied natural gas (LNG) and natural gas products. Our commitment is to meet both local energy needs and facilitate global export opportunities, ensuring that our solutions contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
Our approach
Utilizing Flare Gas
Nigeria flares a considerable volume of gas as a byproduct of oil extraction, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. We capture this flare gas and convert it into Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), offering cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions. This process reduces harmful emissions and provides a reliable energy source for both industries and communities.
Sustainable LNG Production
Our advanced de-flaring and LNG export facility utilizes cutting-edge technology to process feedstock from non-associated gas (NAG) fields and flare gas from the Niger Delta. We maintain the highest environmental standards, ensuring our LNG production is both economically viable and eco-friendly, thereby reducing carbon emissions and supporting climate change mitigation efforts.
Economic Empowerment
Our operations contribute to local economic development by creating jobs and fostering skills development. We collaborate with local businesses and communities to create growth opportunities and build a resilient energy infrastructure that supports Nigeria’s long-term development objectives.

Sustainable, reliable, affordable energy
The energy landscape is evolving rapidly, with increasing demands producers to foster sustainable and affordable energy solutions. As we transition towards a greener future, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plays a crucial role in displacing coal, offering a cleaner and more efficient alternative. To meet global energy needs while reducing carbon emissions, LNG must remain a key component of our strategy for sustainable energy development.
The Molecules
LNG
Liquefied Natural Gas
LNG is natural gas cooled to about -162°C (-260°F), converting it into a non-flammable liquid that is 600 times smaller in volume than its gaseous form. This reduction in volume facilitates safer and more efficient storage and transport to distant cities reliant on gas but too far from gas fields for pipeline delivery. Uses for natural gas include cooking, heating, generating electricity. and manufacturing products like fertilizers, paints and medicines.
The Molecules
LPG
Liquefied Petroleum Gas
LPG is a fuel consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbon gases, primarily propane and butane. It accounts for approximately 3% of global energy consumption and burns relatively cleanly, producing minimal soot and sulfur emissions. LPG is extracted from “wet” natural gas, which contains condensable heavy petroleum compounds, through an absorption process. It is used for heating, cooking, auto fuel and as an aerosol propellant and a refrigerant.
The Molecules
NGLs
Natural Gas Liquids
NGLs are heavy hydrocarbon compounds with higher dew points than dry natural gases like methane and ethane. They are in the same molecular family as crude oil, but chemically simpler to extract and use. NGLs fall out of the gas stream due to decreased temperatures, increased pressure, or the scrubbing action within the pipeline. NGLs are used in blending motor fuels and producing raw materials for a wide range of products, including tires, clothing, and plastic goods.
The Molecules
CNG
Compressed Natural Gas
CNG is an alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels, and consists primarily of methane. It is produced by compressing natural gas to a high pressure, then typically stored and distributed in cylindrical or spherical containers at 20–25 megapascals (3,600 pounds per square inch). CNG is utilized as a fuel for motor vehicles and locomotives, offering a cleaner and more efficient option compared to traditional fossil fuels.

Gas Processing Plant
Gas Processing Plant
Natural gas processing involves a series of industrial steps designed to purify raw gas by removing contaminants such as solids, water, carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), mercury, and higher molecular mass hydrocarbons (condensates). This purification process results in pipeline-quality dry natural gas suitable for distribution and final use.
The Solutions
Carbon Capture & Utilization
Carbon Capture & Utilization
Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) is a suite of technologies designed to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Once captured, the CO2 is transported and either utilized in various applications or stored. Utilization involves converting the captured CO2 into valuable products like fertilizers, synthetic fuels, carbon-negative concrete, building materials, and chemicals, thereby reducing overall emissions and creating economic value.
The Solutions
Flare Gas Capture
Flare Gas Capture
Flare gas recovery systems are located upstream of the flare sites and capture and compress the gas to be reused as fuel gas or as feedstock for the processing plant. Flare gases are redirected from the flare header to a recovery unit, pass through a compressor and then go to a separator to remove any liquids. Flare gas recovery prevents gases that would otherwise be flared from releasing pollutants, smoke and heat into the atmosphere.
LNG plays a vital role as a stepping stone in green energy by offering a cleaner, more efficient alternative to traditional fossil fuels, supporting the transition to renewable energy, and driving technological innovation and economic growth.
Taking action against flaring
for a net zero future
At TWD Energy, we partner with oil companies in the Niger Delta to address the issues of gas flaring, waste, and pollution. Our solutions enable these companies to capture and monetize stranded natural gas assets, transforming them into valuable energy products. This approach not only helps reduce environmental impact and waste but also delivers significant benefits to the community and customers, who gain from the availability of cleaner and more sustainable natural gas products. It’s a win-win situation for all parties involved, fostering environmental responsibility while enhancing economic opportunities.
Shaping Africa's Energy Future
The development of Nigeria’s LNG infrastructure creates job opportunities, stimulates local economies, and attracts foreign investment. It also helps the country diversify its economy by reducing its reliance on oil alone and tapping into the global LNG market.
