Description
Description | The Dangote East Africa Refinery is a proposed large-scale refinery project designed to address East Africa's structural gap in domestic refining capacity. The refinery aims to process a diversified crude feedstock mix including crude from Uganda's Hoima oil fields, Kenyan onshore oil reserves, and supplementary imported crude. The project is estimated to cost between $15 billion and $17 billion, making it one of the largest private sector industrial investments in East Africa. The refinery is intended to serve as a regional processing hub for Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and potentially beyond. The location decision is between Mombasa, Kenya, and Tanga, Tanzania, with both sites having distinct logistical and commercial advantages. The project is currently in advanced discussion and site evaluation phase with ongoing diplomatic engagements but no final decision or groundbreaking announced as of mid-2026. |
