Dangote's Kenya Refinery Project Aims for 700,000 Barrels Daily
African countries are investing in refinery projects to enhance local fuel production and reduce dependence on imported petroleum products. Notable projects include Dangote Industries' refinery in Kenya, designed to process up to 700,000 barrels of crude oil daily.
The groundbreaking ceremony occurred on September 30, 2026, with construction expected to take approximately 40 months. This facility aims to bolster East Africa's refining capacity and strengthen regional fuel supply chains.
In Angola, the Lobito refinery project is ongoing, targeting completion by 2029, and will process crude oil into various refined products, thereby enhancing domestic fuel supply and creating investment opportunities. Uganda's proposed oil refinery in Hoima is also under development, focusing on processing locally sourced crude oil for domestic consumption and potentially supplying neighboring countries.
This project aims to reduce Uganda's reliance on imported fuel and support industrial growth.
