Natural gas reduces CO₂ emissions significantly vs diesel. But how you develop and operate an infrastructure project matters as much as what it produces. ANOH is built to World Bank ESF standards from the ground up — environmental compliance, community engagement, and governance are not afterthoughts.
Natural gas produces significantly less CO₂ than diesel when combusted. ANOH enables industrial customers across Southeast and Northern Nigeria to reduce their carbon footprint substantially from day one of switchover. The Mini-LNG virtual pipeline eliminates thousands of tonnes of diesel combustion across northern industrial operations annually. Our EIA was prepared to World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) standards and is available to qualified investors and DFI counterparties in the data room.
The ANOH site sits in Umuepe, Assa North LGA, Imo State. Community engagement has been central to the project from the outset — all seven landowner agreements were executed with full community consent and fair compensation. Right-of-Way payments were made promptly and transparently. ANOH will create direct employment during construction and permanent skilled employment in operations, as well as indirect employment across the supply chain and industrial park tenant operations. Prof. Ayo Olajuyigbe leads our community and ESG engagement as Chief Sustainability Officer.
ANOH is governed by a board with deep regulatory, legal, and commercial expertise. Cynthia Tishion serves as Board Member and Legal Advisor, bringing corporate governance expertise and legal framework oversight. Financial reporting, partner governance, and operational oversight follow international standards. All investor agreements include board representation rights for material investors. The 100% equity structure eliminates lender governance conflicts and maintains clear ownership accountability throughout the project lifecycle.
ANOH's Environmental Impact Assessment was prepared by Prof. Ayo Olajuyigbe — our Chief Sustainability and Planning Officer with a PhD in Urban Planning and specialist experience in Nigerian energy infrastructure EIA and ESIA processes.
The EIA covers the full project footprint: the 13.5-hectare plant site, the 1.5km pipeline Right-of-Way corridor, and the access road. It addresses air quality, soil and water impacts, biodiversity, noise, community health and safety, and socioeconomic effects — all assessed against World Bank Environmental and Social Framework standards.
The full EIA is available to qualified investors and DFI counterparties upon NDA execution as part of the Virtual Data Room package.
CNG and LNG provide significantly cleaner, more affordable energy than diesel to industrial, commercial and residential users across Nigeria.
ANOH creates direct skilled employment, enables industrial park manufacturing, and reduces energy costs that constrain Nigerian business growth.
ANOH is new gas distribution infrastructure — the first of its kind in Southeast Nigeria and the first CNG-to-LNG virtual pipeline connecting the South to the North.
Displacing diesel with natural gas reduces CO₂ and particulate emissions significantly. ANOH's northern LNG supply eliminates thousands of tonnes of unnecessary diesel combustion.
