LNG export

Cameroon has been exporting natural gas since 2018. The gas from the Sanaga South field is liquefied from a floating facility, Hilli Episeyo, located off Kribi. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) production which was 1.2 million tonnes per year initially went up to 1.4 million tonnes per year in 2022.

The Floating LNG project is the first floating natural gas liquefaction plant in the world to be built as a result of the conversion of an LNG carrier. It is implemented by SNH and its partners Perenco and Golar.

Gas supply to Douala-based industries for energy production

The Logbaba Association, comprised of SNH and its partner Gaz du Cameroon, is producing the natural gas reserves of the eponymous field, located in the outskirts of Douala, the economic capital of Cameroon, to supply industries in the Bassa and Bonaberi areas with clean energy, cheaper than fuel oil or diesel.

Several of the most important industrial companies in Douala have converted their burners and now use natural gas as a source of energy. The gas distribution network is currently being extended to permit the connection of other industries.

 

Gas for tile production in Kribi

The year 2024 marks the beginning of the provision by SNH of natural gas to a ceramic tile manufacturing facility, constructed by a subsidiary of the Chinese group Keda, located on the outskirts of the seaside town of Kribi.
