Progress in production and exports from Congo LNG<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Congo LNG project marks the first initiative to export liquefied natural gas to the liquefied natural gas (LNG)<\/a><\/strong> in the country, a strategic bet with Europe as the main destination market. Since 2022, the Republic of Congo has taken solid steps to position itself as a new player in the global gas supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project structure: floating technology and staged production<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The development is being executed in two phases that combine innovation and operational efficiency. The first phase is already underway with the Tango FLNG floating plant, located close to the coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its liquefaction capacity reaches 0.6 million tons per year. In a second stage, the Nguya FLNG vessel, installed offshore, will add 2.4 million tons per year, thus expanding the total capacity to 3 MTPA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy infrastructure and local resource optimization<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To maximize the use of associated and non-associated gas extracted in the Marine XII concession, the project includes the construction of onshore gas treatment facilities. In addition to exporting LNG, this infrastructure will allow the generation of electricity for the domestic market, contributing to local energy access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A model without gas flaring and aligned with decarbonization<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In line with Eni’s energy transition strategy Eni<\/strong><\/a>operator of the project through its subsidiary Eni Congo SA, Congo LNG adopts a non-flaring approach to reduce fugitive methane emissions. This reinforces the country’s and the operator’s environmental commitment, aligned with global decarbonization goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Congo contributes to European energy security<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the first cargo shipped in February 2024 to the Italian terminal of Piombino, the project strengthens the energy diversification of the European continent. In a context of growing demand and need for alternative sources, Central Africa is positioning itself as a strategic supplier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
