Ghana gears up for sub-Saharan Africa’s first LNG imports
Ghana is preparing to become sub-Saharan Africa’s first LNG importer, with the terminal at the port of Tema set to receive its maiden cargo in the coming weeks.
There are a number of LNG export projects across North and West Africa, but Egypt in 2015 became the first — and so far only — African country to import LNG.
But that is set to change as Ghana gears up to begin LNG imports. “The terminal at Tema will be mechanically ready for full operation at the end of March,” a project spokesman told S&P Global Platts March 4.
