In Congo, Eni is planning to promote the energy transition through initiatives including the Oyo Centre of Excellence for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency.

In a press statement, Eni said: “To date, Eni is the only company committed to develop the Country’s vast gas resources, in particular through the Congo LNG [liquefied natural gas] project, which will exploit the huge gas resources of Marine XII, fulfilling the country’s power generation needs while also fuelling LNG exports, supplying new volumes of gas to international markets focusing on Europe.”

The $5bn Congo LNG project, which forms part of Eni’s core supply diversification initiatives, is expected to have an overall LNG production capacity of three million tonnes per year from 2025.

The gas liquefaction project involves the installation of two floating natural gas liquefaction plants at the already producing Nenè and Litchendjili fields, and at additional fields that are due to be developed.
