Africa’s most transformative project — the Dangote refinery — is entering a powerful new chapter.
Less than two years after start-up, the refinery is advancing a major expansion strategy fueled by fresh capital and ambitious petrochemical plans, with capacity targets rising to an unprecedented 1.4 million b/d. With significant headroom for growth and robust supporting infrastructure, this next phase is poised to redefine regional fuel security and recalibrate global trade flows.
Join S&P Global Energy for an expert-led webinar delivering the latest insights on the project’s trajectory and its impact on 2026 and beyond. We’ll explore the expansion roadmap, financing developments, crude procurement strategies, stabilization progress, and the broader market implications as Dangote positions itself to become the world’s largest refinery.
