"Wärtsilä's dual-fuel engine technology is particularly valuable where the primary fuel supply cannot be totally trusted. The flexibility and reliability of our solution were major considerations in the award of this contract, added to which the ability to operate on LNG considerably lessens the facility's carbon footprint," said Marc Thiriet, Energy Business Director, Africa West, Wärtsilä. BUA Group, through its cement subsidiary, BUA Cement Plc, is one of Nigeria's largest cement producers with operations spread across Nigeria. In addition to the environmental sustainability benefit, it is estimated that the Wärtsilä solution will result in fuel cost savings of approximately 30 percent compared to the existing power plants operating on heavy fuel oil (HFO).
