Kenya's Lamu Set To Host Dangote's New $17 Billion East Africa Oil Refinery | Firstpost Africa |N18G

Africa's richest businessman, Aliko Dangote, has unveiled plans for a $17 billion refinery in Kenya's port city of Lamu, a project that could become the largest refinery in East Africa. With a planned capacity of 700,000 barrels per day, the refinery would extend Dangote's energy footprint beyond Nigeria and create a two-coast refining network stretching from Lagos on the Atlantic to Lamu on the Indian Ocean. The project aims to reduce Africa's dependence on imported fuel by processing more crude oil on the continent. But major questions remain over crude supply, with Kenya yet to begin commercial production and neighbouring producers following different export strategies. Could this project reshape Africa's energy map, or will securing enough crude become its biggest challenge? Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
