(Credit: Eni) The Congo LNG Project in the Republic of the Congo is the first natural gas liquefaction (LNG) project in the country. The project was sanctioned in December 2022 and was officially launched in April 2023.
The government’s vision is to increase the service level to 32 percent by 2030. Lack of access to modern electricity services impairs the health, education, and income-generating potential of millions of Congolese people. Most power generation development is directed and funded by mining companies seeking to power their facilities.
In the AC, Democratic Republic of the Congo supports an economy six-times larger than today’s with only 35% more energy by diversifying its energy mix away from one that is 95% dependent on bioenergy.
The Republic of Congo was one of the very first countries in Central Africa to create a Gas Master Plan. However, even though building up significant gas resources remains a key priority for us, we are still working on unlocking the nation’s gas potential.
Just recently, SNPC received the authorisation to prospect for hydrogen in the country and the studies carried out with our partners confirm the existence of favourable geological conditions for natural hydrogen in the interior of the Congo Basin.
