Sonangol secures gas for future fertilizer factory



Soyo - Sonangol will supply around 76 million cubic feet of gas per day to the future Soyo Fertiliser Factory in northern Zaire province. 

The fact was revealed on Tuesday in Soyo by  Sonangol CEO, Sebastião Gaspar Martins, noting that the partnership was the result of an agreement signed in 2019 between the parties. 

He said that the volume of the supply, which would be for the first phase of operation of the factory, in four years time, could increase with the conclusion of the second phase of the unit. 

The manager, who was speaking at the ceremony to lay the first stone for construction of the fertilizer factory, noted that his company already supplied 75 million cubic feet to the Soyo Combined Cycle Power Plant. 

"This partnership emanates from Sonangol's strategic framework, in relation to the development of the gas industry in Angola," he noted. 

He highlighted the strategy of motorization of natural gas and its availability for the development of the industrial, stressing that work is being carried out with partners in the project to ensure that the subsequent stages are carried out, within the standards of quality, health, safety, environment and the established deadlines. 

The future fertilizer industrial complex in Soyo will produce 3,500 tons of granulated urea per day and 1.2 million tons per year. 

The Minister for Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas, Diamantino Azevedo, was responsible for laying the first stone for construction of the factory.
