Dangote Oil Refinery Project in Kenya

planned

Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote is considering establishing a multi-billion dollar oil refinery in Kenya with a capacity of approximately 650,000 barrels per day. The project aims to stabilize domestic fuel prices, reduce reliance on imported refined petroleum products, and potentially transform regional petroleum supply chains and pricing. The refinery would likely be located near the Kenyan coast to facilitate maritime logistics and would require substantial land and deep-water access. The project is currently in the exploratory phase following discussions between Dangote and Kenyan government officials.
