GCL to Supply Natural Gas to Dangote's $2.5B Fertilizer Project in Ethiopia for $4.2B Deal
China's GCL has signed a $4.2 billion agreement to supply natural gas to Dangote's fertilizer unit in Ethiopia for 25 years. The gas will be transported from the Calub gas field through a 108-kilometer pipeline to a facility in Gode, expected to start operations by 2029. The $2.5 billion fertilizer plant will produce three million tons of urea annually, reducing Ethiopia's reliance on imports and enhancing food security. The project is part of a broader $30 billion investment program in Ethiopia.
